BETWEEN THE IDEOLOGY AND THE UTOPIA: REFLECTIONS ABOUT THE GEOPOLITICS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The Rio-92 – divided between Riocentro, where the diplomatical delegations and heads of government have been congregated, and Aterro do Flamengo, where the “Global Forum” occurred, with the participation of NGOs and social movements – meant the construction as an “inconstestable” prescription – the sustainable development – to the attainment of a planetary social ecologic balance, whose purpose is the adjustement to the economical interests thru strategies for the maintenance of the nature resources situated, in bigger part, in the territory of the peripheral countries. However, in the interstices of this conference, “spaces of hope” had emerged capable to confront the instituted order.
