The following work was from the doctoral dissertation presented at the New University of Lisbon, entitled “The Legitimizing Environmental Discourses and the Politics Surrounding the Amazon Rainforest”. The referred thesis presents the results of a study about the political power regarding the Amazonian Rainforest. Considering that Political Science revolves around the practical aspects involved in the exercise of power and that ideas are legitimized on political discussions, this piece of work meant to analyze the discourses of political agents both governmental and non-governmental, about the public policies regarding the Amazonian Rainforest; presenting the main arguments of the speeches about the Rainforest; identifying any occurring differences between governmental and non-governmental agents; as well as, verifying if the public policies concerning the Amazon Forest have been fulfilling their purposes. The research method was qualitative, using questioning as a data collection instrument. After careful analysis of the results, it was possible to state that there are legitimized discourses about the Forest that do not match up with it’s reality.

Palabras clave : Amazon Rainforest; power; political speeches; politics.
