Belo Monte: uma análise à luz dos estudos para paz

Abstract

The present work aims to study and analyze the construction case of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant and its developmentalist, economic, environmental and social impact and how it undermines the basis for a harmonic society. The work will be done through a methodology based on review and bibliographical research along the theoretical strand of Peace Studies, which will provide the necessary tools and means for its approach, such as the Violence Triangle approach of the Norwegian peace thinker Johan Galtung. The motivation for the accomplishment of this work is due to the academic deficiency present in the area of the Peace Studies and also the interest and personal relevance that the theme causes in the author of this work.
