Abstract

After the end of the Second World War, the prominence of what was called the “economic paradigm of development” is verified, which presents itself as a political phenomenon that is the source of several questions due to its neocolonial aspect and its serious social consequences, economic and cultural. Thus, the purpose of the work is to verify the relationship between the idea of development based on strictly economic aspects and the negotiated resolution of environmental conflicts in Brazil as a State policy, notably with regard to the need to establish a critical view about the use of these consensual mechanisms in the environmental field. Regarding the methodology, the work presents bibliographic research, based on authors such as Bourdieu (2014), Esteva (2000), Gudynas (2015) and Zhouri (2019). The research results show that the Paradigm of Economic Development operated as a mechanism to legitimize the negotiated resolution of environmental conflicts in Brazil, contributing to the elimination of asymmetries and docilization of the subjects.
