Securitization of electric energy in Brazilian development: limitations in the negotiations of the Itaipu Treaty during the government of former President Inacio Lula da Silva (2003-2010). (in Portuguese)
Junior, Paulo Inacio
The building of energy infrastructure has the main objective of promoting
economic development based on the production and consumption of goods and
services. In Brazil, the main generator of electricity is the Itaipu hydroenergy plant,
which is binational and uses the transboundary waters of the Parana River in the
boundary between Brazil and Paraguay. In a context of high energy demand, the
discourses about transboundary waters are marked by debates on sovereignty
and securitization in the face of vulnerability, these discourses focus on relations
of tension and conflict over strategic water resources between states. This paper
examines the use of transboundary water for energy production in Brazil and
the limits of the discourse of regional development among the riparian states in
the negotiations on the Itaipu Treaty during the government of former President
Inacio Lula da Silva (2003-2010).
