%X The research is about the power of communication towards the implementation of projects derived from public policies, with a high socio-environmental impact, set by the government for society in the condition of public interest. The object is the communication process linked to the Hydroelectric Power Plant Foz do Chapec¨®, on Uruguay River (SC/RS ¨C Brazil). The theoretical aspect is based on the importance given to communication by the theory of public sphere, with a qualitative approach and critical analysis of speech. Identifying the organizations that took part in the contentious process has revealed an extensive and complex network, but only a few, such as concessionary enterprise. The conclusion of this work was that communication is a central and constitutive element of negotiations regarding the space and a strategic factor on the relations between governmental, market and civil society organizations.
