Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between neoliberal development and violations of the human right to an ecologically balanced environment. To this end, the research addresses the concept of neoliberal rationality, how the system presents itself today, its premises and consequences, and its relationship with the protection of the environment. In addition, the work clarifies the definition of the human right to an ecologically balanced environment, how it is recognized in modern constitutions and international treaties on the matter, and what are the contours of this human right and its importance today. Furthermore, this study presents alternatives to the neoliberal rationality and worldview, based on counter-hegemonic theories of human rights (Epistemologies of the South). The development of the study has as approach the analectic method, thought by Enrique Dussel.
