A institucionalização das políticas e da gestão ambiental no Brasil: avanços, obstáculos e contradições
This article discusses the recent institutionalization process of environmental policies and management in Brazil. It reviews bibliography from the perspective of Political Ecology, that emerged at the end of twentieth century as a new field of knowledge founded in the critic and politicizing of environmental problems since a reflection of its genesis, consequences, contradictions and possible alternatives. This discussion articulates the concepts of environmental policy, environmental management, democratic sustainability, and participatory democracy, besides other issues of less centrality. It discusses environmental policies advancements, obstacles and contradictions, as well as tries to verify if these policies were capable of restraining environmental degradation and to establish a democratic sustainability in the country. The article certifies that environmental policies advanced to a certain degree in Brazil, especially in legal and institutional aspects, in a tendency to decentralization, in the diffusion of information about environmental problems, and in the construction of sustainable development notion as a discursive resource in conciliating conflicts between environment and development. On the one hand, a governmental system of environmental agencies in all levels of government administration has been constituted. On the other hand, a broad judicial array, recognized by experts as one of the most advanced in the world, has also been established. However, in spite of these relative advances, the analysis concludes that environmental policies in Brazil advanced in a hesitant and contradictory way that made them incapable to overcome environmental degradation and political conflicts resulting from capitalist expansion in the country.
