AS MUDANÇAS DOS PARADIGMAS DO ESTADO E A VULNERABILIDADE AMBIENTAL

Abstract

The scope or this dissertation is the analysis of the environmental crisis we experience imposed by the globalized capitalist way of production that, disregarding the dependence of human beings to the environment, caused an imbalance in natural resources. To do so, it will be done, initially, a study of instituted state models, characterizing their bases and their respective overcoming driven by social demands. Next, there will be a fundamental rights approach, as a limiter of the state powers, attaining thereby the constitutionalization of the right to the environment, which gives it greater effectiveness and protection in the legal system. It will be shown the dependence of the human beings in relation to the environment and the reflections made worldwide in search of a development that balances the development with a healthy quality of life. Finally, taken that the right to environment has the status of fundamental right, due to the dependence of the human beings to the environment, it requires a new attitude of society and state. It should therefore be based on a new ethic that advocates for the rupture of the paradigm, which was previously based on a predominantly economic aspect for the recognition of human values consistent with environmental preservation.
