Questões ambientais e relações internacionais, uma nova (des)ordem global – O papel das Relações Internacionais na promoção de um sistema internacional concertado

Abstract

Is it possible to talk about the rise of a new global (dis)order founded on the challenges posed by environmental issues? Through the review of the state of the art on the subject, this article analyzes the growing importance of the environment, and natural resources in particular, in international relations; and aims to raise awareness among International Relations scholars to the potential positive impact of the development of the discipline in integration with global environmental change studies.
