It is based on the author's research on the binational Yacyreta hydroelectric project for more than fifteen years, on interviews to academics, politicians, representatives of grassroots movements and NGOs interested on the analysis of the impact of dam projects on the River Plate Basin (including projects on the Paraná and Uruguay rivers), and on the analysis of reports and studies on the experiences of different populations with electric companies, relocation agencies, governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and lending banks in different parts of Latin America.
