The research upon which this article is based on explores one main issue: is there environmental policy in Brazilian industry? The hypotheses that driven the research among 48 environmental managers assumed the following dimensions: corporate policy for internal and external environments; what fact effectively fostered the present profile of the sector; and socio-political, organizational, and technological impacts of the pollution control. The main findings: low trade-off between occupational, safety and hearth activities vis-à-vis environmental practices; a determinant public legislation of pollution control as start point for internal practices; a relative integration of the pollution control into productive engineering; low impact of the pollution control over occupational, health and safety environment.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

More than ever, sustainable development is fashionable. Several authors have given their interpretations to it and international and governmental organizations have adopted a formulation which contains ambiguities, inconsistencies and contradictions. A critical review of part of the current literature upon the concept shows that there are some basic questions to be better explained in terms of overcoming the ambiguities and giving a more consistent content to it. These basic questions are: the interpretation of the causes of the poverty and environmental degradation; the inadequacy of the development strategies to cope with them; the pertinence of what has to be sustainable; the necessity of making the concept more accurate and the lack of a large discussion in society upon what is a sustainable development.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Half-finished things are quite common in Latin America. The problem of over-indebtedness isn¿t acute anymore but it still remains unsolved. In 1989 only 5 countries out of 25 recorded a growth in their rate of production per capita. The author presents some approximations about the time period needed to regain the wealth level of 1980. The decisive factor is the development of the investment rate. He holds that debt restructuring is one of the most decisive factors to accelerate its rise. Furthermore he explains that the cut back of fiscal expenditures to reduce the deficit must be stopped. The artifice ends with the hope that Latin American will overcome its traditional hostility towards direct investments now that it has become much more dependent on anonymous foreign financing.
