Desenvolvimento sustentável e modernização ecológica no Semiárido Brasileiro.

Abstract

The concept of sustainable development (DS) emerged in the 1980s with notable reflections on governance structures and politics in general. In the same decade a theory of ecological modernization (ME) has been developed, which, as a subcategory of the general discourse of sustainability and political strategy of the same, has gained important space in the environmental field. There is still no period in which no seminar has been started. The São Francisco River Integration Program with the Northern Northeastern Basins (PISF) and its São Francisco River Basin Revitalization Program (PRSF) are the federal projects that achieve the sign of sustainable development. Contradictory expressions and the consequences in the sphere of materiality that are emitted in such precepts, and still, in the process of a strategy of ecological modernization, mainly in the PRSF. Next, it has been developed as a general objective and as dynamics is developed on the Brazilian semi-arid, using a DS referential, having as background of analysis a trajectory of the official development policy for a region and the case of PISF. It has as specific objectives (a) as different forms that they assume as governmental actions of development for a locality; B) the place of the DS in its recent development policy, including the San Francisco integration program; (C) the process of ecological modernization in the non-PISF course; and (d) its constituent elements, state action and phenomena triggered by such an undertaking. The research has focused on the bibliographic study, the analysis of the documents, the elements of discourse analysis, the conducting of a field investigation and the interview with the application of the questionnaires on the Population Reinsurance Program ) Make PISF. It is a document that deals with development policies and strategies for the semi-arid region, based on a literature on development, design and institutional design. Using the same reference, it is therefore examined or PISF, especially its PRSF. Its structure, implementation, and discourse are investigated as contradictions and phenomena unchained by this policy, assuming the search for the DS concept and the ME theory as main theoretical axes.
