Working Paper 124/2014: Justiça ambiental e movimentos sociais. Reflexão teórica a partir de reconceiving environmental justice: global movements and political theorie de David Schlosberg

Abstract:

The purpose of Justiça ambiental e movimentos sociais. Reflexão teórica a partir de ‘Reconceiving environmental justice: global movements and political theory’ de David Schlosberg, within the course ‘Problematics in International Relations’ of the PhD in International Relations, is to understand to what extent the theorizations of social justice within political theory and environmental claims articulate with a view to the development of a definition of environmental justice at the global level. On the basis of John Rawls’ theorization of social justice, discussed by David Schlosberg in his essay Reconceiving Environmental Justice: Global Movements and Political Theories, we intend to argue that the inadequacy of theories of environmental justice is due to the failure to consider issues of respect, recognition and community political participation in their conceptualization. Schlosberg (2004), from an essay on the theorizations of justice and their articulation with the demands of environmental social movements, questions how the demands of these movements for greater environmental justice, especially those that articulate environmental concerns with certain forms of globalization in their arguments, contribute to the development of a definition of environmental justice at the global level.
