Descentralização da gestão ambiental no estado do Pará e suas implicações no licenciamento ambiental (1988-2010)

Abstract

The present thesis examines the institutional and organizational change in environmental management in Pará and Belém from 1988 to 2010. In reviewing the theoretical foundations of the environmental debate and what influences present in the design of environmental management in Brazil, we arrived at the institutional and organizational changes in environmental setting national, state and municipal levels. Within these changes, the process of decentralization of environmental management has brought great impact to state and municipal levels, whose analysis swimsuits devoted attention. Thus, we seek to analyze the environmental licensing of the instrument of the main effects of this process of decentralization and how this instrument is a reflection of the environmental debate, the concept of environmental management in Brazil, mirroring isomorphically institutional and organizational changes in these levels.
