The research focuses on the Legal Amazon † , through the georeferenced analysis of socioeconomic data from the last three censuses (1991, 2000 and 2010), in order to demonstrate how the Brazilian national energy strategy is contributing to the perpetuation of the phenomenon of the endowment trap ‡ at a regional level. Despite boosting the national growth, the concentration of sector-based projects in resource-abundant areas is unable to eradicate inequalities, which in turn perpetuates the path dependence §. Maranhão (NorthEast Region) and the Mato Grosso (Center-East) are also added. ‡ Occurs when the development trajectory of a resource-abundant country mainly relies on primary product exploitation (Auty, 2001). The phenomenon can also produce the same implications in the internal energy market. § The concept aims to frame the way in which historical events can 'lock in' pathways of development (Martin and Sunlay, 2006).

It is composed of nine Brazilian states, among which Pará stands out both for its considerable territorial dimension and undisputed economic potential. Its potential has boosted the country's growth through the implementation of national programs of sectoral interest, given that the main sectors explored in the state of Pará have always been and continue to be the mining and water sectors, which are structurally interconnected. The objective of this chapter is to explore the positive synergies that the implementation of these programs have brought to national growth, as well as to understand how the characteristics of investors, the purpose of investments, and the way in which they are carried out have led to significant negative trade-offs for regional and local development.
