Environmental issues, interdisciplinarity, social theory and intellectual production in Latin America
While dealing with both interdisciplinarity and environment and society area as fields that harbor scientific contentions regarding ideas, practices, institutions and habitus (Bourdieu), this paper aims at providing an account of the multifaceted processes implied in the institutionalization of environmental concerns in Latin-American academia and research centers. The paper discusses the extent to which one can legitimately talk about "a Latin- …
Waiting for Godot: Sustainable development, international trade and governance in environmental policies
The current environmental crisis calls for a sustainable style of development and draws attention to a new ecological dimension in social life that poses hitherto unforeseen challenges to the social sciences and to the everyday concerns of citizens, governments and private interests. Consequently, it is appropriate to attempt a critical overview of governance issues around the formation and implementation of environmental policies designed under …
La sostenibilidad del desarrollo entre Rio-92 y Johannesburgo 2002: Eramos Felices Y No Sabiamos
Transcurridas tres décadas desde la Conferencia sobre el Medio Ambiente Humano en Estocolmo, y estando a las puertas de la próxima Cumbre Mundial sobre Desarrollo Sostenible en Johannesburgo, corresponde hacer una evaluación del camino recorrido, en especial a partir del verdadero divisor de aguas que representó la Conferencia de Rio en 1992. Para tales propósitos se introduce, en primer lugar, un balance de la evolución económica, social e insti…
O desafio político do desenvolvimento sustentado
A unanimidade que hoje parece haver em favor do desenvolvimento sustentado contrasta com a ausência de iniciativas políticas significativas para transformar as instituições econômicas, sociais e políticas que estão comprometidas com o estilo vigente de desenvolvimento. Em particular, há uma patente contradição entre o discurso antiestatista hegemônico e as exigências do desenvolvimento sustentado, que incluem um Estado ainda mais forte, em suas c…
The Ecopolitics of Development in the Third World: Politics and Environment in Brazil
Development pattern and environment in Brazil
After describing the present situation of ecological transition, which is one of the factors in the economic, institutional and environmental crisis of present-day society, the author tries to identify the main features of the industrial and agricultural expansion of Brazil, highlighting the socio-environmental impact of the style of development pursued by that country since the war. On the basis of this diagnostic study, and especially of the te…
Bureaucracy and Ecopolitics in the Third World: Environmental Policy Formation in Brazil
We are definitely in an age of scarcity. Scarcity of resources, scarcity of places to dispose of our wastes, and, above all, scarcity of adequate institutions to face the challenges of the current environmental crisis. In this context, ecopolitics represents the most immediate recognition that in order to look inward, searching for answers to the basic questions of human existence and destiny, we must look outward, to our ways of relating to our …
The ecopolitics of development in Brazil
How a collectivity deals with nature discloses as much about its internal social relations as the other way around. The present inquiry is a prologue to more detailed study of ecopolitics, to the study of the political philosophy of relations between human beings and nature, exploring the feasibility of integrating the knowledge of the social and of the natural sciences on the interchange between human activities and the cycles of nature. It is a…
Co-operativism and popular participation: New considerations regarding an old subject
As a result of the trend towards the replacement of military régimes by democratic governments, growing interest in the subject of popular participation is to be observed in various countries of the region. One of the aspects of this subject that should be considered is the importance of cooperatives as an organizational model for the production of goods and services which emphasizes the concepts of “popular participation”, “selfmanagement” and “…
