Abstract
This thesis focuses on the analysis of a strategic axis of integration between Argentina and Brazil: the electrical interconnection. The focus of the research is to analyze how governments and companies -public and private- lead the planning process of two binational hydroelectric: Garabí and Panambí, projected on Uruguay River section, which is shared by the two countries, between 2007 and 2015. In this context, mechanisms and procedures used by state and private actors to legitimize the realization of the technical, environmental and social studies are detailed.
The choice of this case study is based on a particular characteristic that distinguishes them from other bilateral projects in the sector: discussions and negotiations on the Uruguay River Hydroenergenetic are still in force after nearly half a century (1970-2015). This feature allowed us to analyze the influence of different historical processes (affected populations resistance movements, reforms in the electricity sectors in both countries, privatization processes, etc.) in negotiations between the countries and their impact on the progress and the cessation of work. Based on this broad framework, the research will focus on the latest stage of development of binational treaty (2007- 2015), when Argentina and Brazil decided to redo the studies to re-evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of possible hydroelectric projects set in Uruguay River.
It is argued that this phase of renegotiations is inserted into a logical neoliberal process way of accumulation by dispossession, that is, by increasing the exploitation of common goods at the expense of social and environmental deterioration unprecedented. This research shows how the expansion of capital in the electricity industry injures human rights of people affected by the projects under study. Simultaneously, this process of expansion, supported by national and provincial governments, relies even in violation of the existing legal structure.
