Golpe de Estado no século XXI : o caso de Honduras (2009) e a recomposição hegemônica neoliberal

The research produced a case study of the coup against President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras (2009), analyzing how the event expresses a reordering of neoliberal hegemonic influences in the region, reconfiguring the power correlations and influencing the geopolitical game. As a theoretical framework, we present our reading of the imperialist theory, trying to characterize the current political and economic world setting in which to insert the object of our study. Then, it was intended to develop a history of social-economic and policy formation of Honduras, marking the moments that may have historical relationship with the coup in 2009. Besides strictly Honduran reality, we seek to understand what is the role that the region Gran Caribe fulfilled and fulfills the current geopolitical chessboard. In the third chapter, we analyze the government of President Manuel Zelaya and dive into the events of the institutional crisis that culminated in the breakdown of the democratic order in the country. Finally, we assess the immediate consequences of the blow to the Honduran society, the period covered by the interim government of Roberto Micheletti and the first years of the government of Porfirio Lobo Sosa, from analysis of parameters that include aspects of foreign capital movement (financial and industrial), violation of human rights, popular mobilization in resistance to the coup and international influence.
