Abstract

The present work of degree has as object of study the identification of the characteristics of the socio-environmental conflict generated by the consolidation process of the El Quimbo Hydroelectric Project, located in the central part of the Department of Huila, for this it is based on some preliminary reflections on the elements considered from contemporary critical theory, such as those that make up the world economic framework, the latter in turn determining the current geopolitical characteristics, which allows us to understand the prevailing development model on the continent, especially Colombia . Proof of this are the strategies for seeking investor confidence that potentiate extractive projects, such as Quimbo. This allows us to have a global frame of reference that allows us to see in advance the elements that make up the characteristics of Quimbo, although this will not be our point of analysis, it does allow us to take into account from which positions the mega projects of infrastructure around extractive processes.
