A transposição do Rio São Francisco na federação brasileira: planejamento do território e materialidades do Eixo Norte

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) taking as reference the Brazilian federation and the planning expressed territorially in the materialities of the transposition, presenting in which perspective the PISF is inserted in the logic of the three institutional scales of Brazilian politics. Thus, an analysis of the states of Pernambuco, Paraíba, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, which make up the North Axis, is carried out, in relation to the transposition of the São Francisco River, with regard to the territorial planning strategies of the Northeast region, through an assessment of the institutional dimension of the PISF and of the federative articulation of the states involved, highlighting the conjuncture of the structuring materialities of the Northern Axis. The conclusion reached is in the sense that federative cooperation between the entities involved in the transposition must imperatively advance to achieve the project's viability beyond the years previously planned, considering the current unpredictability from the institutional and financial point of view of the project, especially with regard to the challenge of articulation with other public policies expressed territorially in the municipalities, entities identified as the most vulnerable in terms of planning and management of the territory.
