Resumo: The hydroelectric frontier in the Amazon is expanding due to the construction of large projects such as Santo Antonio and Jirau in the Madeira River, proposed projects in the Tapajós River, and Belo Monte in the big bend of the Xingu River (licensed in February 2010). Large projects that generate energy in the Amazon region provoke political, social, and environmental conflicts. These conflicts affect the credibility of the Environmental Licensing Evaluation process. Discourse from social groups that oppose development policies for the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Dam project offer insight into the origins and progression of these conflicts. Criticisms of the Experts Panel Network created to analyze the Environmental Impact Assessment in Belo Monte and other sectors of the society are evaluated.

A fronteira hidrelétrica avança sobre a Amazônia com grandes obras como Santo Antonio e Jirau no rio Madeira e de maneira decisiva através dos projetos de Belo Monte proposto na Volta Grande do Xingu, licenciado em fevereiro de 2010, e de aproveitamentos no rio Tapajós. Contudo, os grandes projetos de infra-estrutura de geração de energia nesta região revelam confl itos, disputas políticas e econômicas que evidenciam risco aos processos de licenciamento ambiental, no processo de discussão de obras que envolvem bilhões de reais e consequências ambientais e sociais de grande envergadura. Alerta-se neste artigo à deslegitimação do discurso de grupos sociais que se opõem às políticas ofi ciais de desenvolvimento materializadas na duvidosa e polêmica usina de Belo Monte-PA, baseado na experiência da rede Painel de Especialistas constituído para análise crítica dos Estudos de Impacto Ambiental de Belo Monte e diversos segmentos da sociedade.Núcleo de Altos Estudos AmazônicosHernández, Francisco Francisco del MoralMagalhães, Sonia Barbosa2011-10-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpa.br/index.php/ncn/article/view/59910.5801/ncn.v14i1.599Novos Cadernos NAEA; v. 14, n. 1 (2011)2179-75361516-6481reponame:Novos Cadernos NAEA (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA)instacron:UFPAporhttps://periodicos.ufpa.br/index.php/ncn/article/view/599/851Direitos autorais 2016 Novos Cadernos NAEAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-07-31T20:08:54Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufpa.br:article/599Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufpa.br/index.php/ncnPUBhttps://periodicos.ufpa.br/index.php/ncn/oairevistanovoscadernosnaea@gmail.com||revistancnaea@ufpa.br2179-75361516-6481opendoar:2017-07-31T20:08:54Novos Cadernos NAEA (Online) - Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA)false
