The implementation of environmental protection norms under the thought of habermasian theory

Abstract

The present study aims at the analysis of the environmental protection regulations from the Stockholm Conference on Human Environment under thought of Habermasian theory, evaluating standards of legitimacy and its effectiveness from a citizen as a subject of environmental obligations. Demonstrates that the discussion of standards and environmental policy through communicative action by Habermas proposal, enables both the legitimacy of standards and its effectiveness by the citizen, as the construction of consensus standards and environmental policy in the international arena, with a view to opening up the space for the presentation of criticism and the observance of a language that enables the understanding of the content of propositions.
