BELO MONTE, SUAS DISTOPIAS E A (IN)SUSTENTABILIDADE
SOCIOAMBIENTAL DO PLANEJAMENTO ENERGÉTICO
BRASILEIRO
Resumo: O objetivo central do presente trabalho é demonstrar as distopias
de Belo Monte e a (in) sustentabilidade socioambiental do planejamento
energético brasileiro, partindo da premissa de que a presença ativa
dos cidadãos na gestão pública é fundamental para a realização dos
direitos sociais, em especial quanto ao equacionamento dos problemas
socioambientais advindos dos atuais megainvestimentos hidrelétricos.
Para tanto, a pesquisa enfrenta o seguinte problema: qual a importância da
participação comunitária no processo de formulação e de implementação
da política energética brasileira, em especial no que diz respeito à
prevenção e compensação dos impactos socioambientais gerados? Na
busca de uma resposta, parte-se do estudo do caso emblemático no Brasil,

da Usina Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte. A análise permite constatar que

como um quadro contraditório, em que um paradigma tradicional de

paradigma (in)sustentável).
