FROM PERIPHERAL UNDERDEVELOPMENT TO A INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT WITH HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

The present work had as broader thematic support the discussion between State, Constitution and Development. Thus, the research problem was outlined around different understandings of development, one of them leading to the maintenance of Latin American and Brazilian underdevelopment, and another, present in the Brazilian constitutional text of 1988, pointing to the need to overcome social inequalities, with the implementation of human rights and citizenship; which led to new conflicts, evidenced in the approved neoliberal constitutional amendments. As a result of this process, the fundamental question that arises is: how to overcome this process that has led to non-observance and effective implementation of human rights, especially social and socio-environmental rights? The hypothesis worked is that a new understanding of human rights, as a project of society, could lead to a process of strengthening the observance and implementation of social and environmental rights in our societies. In methodological terms, it adopts the genre of theoretical research integrated with the practical one, the legal-social aspect, in a dialectical perspective, with qualitative analysis, based on bibliographic research.
