Green Ideology, Brazil, 1970sAbstract
This article aims to discuss the foundations of green ideology (also called environmentalist or ecologist) and to demonstrate how these environmentalist ideas manifested themselves in the debates of the 1970s, establishing a relationship between international discussions and what happened in Brazil. The authors who analyze green ideology highlight different central elements of the movement, with no single approach or bias, which contributes to characterize the complexity of this thinking. In Brazil, as a result of the analysis, it was noticed that the country had a lot of resistance to environmental ideas in the 1970s, mainly for perceiving the issue as another form of domination of the center in relation to the periphery and for living a period of “economic miracle” in a land-abundant state in which growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was a key factor in maintaining the authoritarian regime. However, at least in the second half of the decade, the country had to adapt its statements and initiatives to incorporate the issues that this period and the global environmental debate posed.
