| Popis: | In this article we discuss how securitization processes, especially concerning environmental issues, are developed in a partial and limited way according to power and status articulations embedded in the architecture of the international system. To do so, we considered the theoretical framework developed within the context of the 1990s, with the evolution of the International Security Studies. In practice, we must consider that, in the last decades, several States have been involved in a greater dynamic of protection and resolution of environmental problems that affect their citizens and territories, making use of concepts such as Human Security and Responsibility to Protect in order to justify political actions. However, new responsibilities attributed to the ‘international community’ have not reached the degree of universality that those concepts presuppose per se. In this sense, with our discussion we show that, in a similar scenario of environmental disasters, “fragile” and “failed” States often suffer from substantive sanctions of the United Nations, including humanitarian interventions, as opposed to the inertia concerning powerful States in the international system. Our conclusions corroborate the so-called “harmony of interests,” a term discussed by Edward Carr more than 70 years ago, and which continues to be applied to most part of international normative evolution by the great systemic power politics. |
