HUERTAS, María Helena  and  VASQUEZ CARDONA, David. CRITICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL NORMATIVITY. Luna Azul [online]. 2008, n.27, pp.104-112. ISSN 1909-2474.

International environmental regulations that emerged from the Stockholm Declaration adopted in 1972 haven’t been able to reduce environmental pollution; rather, as observed in the most diverse specialized reports, the dangers to life on the planet are increasing. This is because environmental problems have been misunderstood, since the problem doesn’t consist in, as presented in Our Common Future, in technology itself, but in the development of the mode of production in the bourgeois society. However, this element is not critically analyzed in any of the speeches from multilateral agencies. Similarly, several technical regulations such as the Kyoto Protocol, in spite of being limited, have not been implemented because of the economic power of nations and because big companies prioritize their earnings over life.

Keywords : Regulations; technology; production; bourgeois society.
