RESUMO

When the United Nations held, in 1972, the Conference about Human Environment, the central capitalist Countries confront themselves with the crisis of the FordistâKeynsian model of development. From the 1970s on, it was seen the institutionalization of the environmental concern concomitant to the productive restoration process, which among other factors, implied in the transference of productive units from the industrialized Countries to Third World Countries. Latin America was the main destiny for pollutant industries from Europe and North America, and Brazil was the leading receiver Country. The environment matter didnât go beyond the political decisions in relation to development quality, on the contrary, that concern was seen as an obstacle to the achievement of an economical and social level that they desired to achieve. It was so, though the Brazilian government having founded, in 1973, a federal institution responsible for environmental concerns, its existence had a merely symbolical feature, since it slack of structure and intervening capacity. However, this shortage wasnât fortuitous. The State, which was under the military regime, had no intention of guaranteeing the effectiveness of environment control, because to do this would be opposing to their own effort they undertook to the spread of Brazilian industry state. Even with retaking of democracy in the 1980s, the primacy of the economical dimension overlapped the environment quality and preservation, for the need for economic growth because of recession. In the late 80s, the Brazilian Government clung to the neoliberalism postulate, increasing the deregulation of economy. Contradictorily, it is seen the advance in the environment regulation, that, however, it was not followed by the enlargement of the operation capacity of the environment bodies of the three government level. It is lacked public investments for the environment protection. In Penambuco State, it was found that precariousness determines the environmental control and management in the state. The Environment State Body (OEMA),the environment policy executor, despite its three decades of existence and the increase of its attributions, remain without its own headquarter yet, with an insufficient staff and characterized by different contractual relationships, with a deficient fleet of cars, and so on. The administration of the resources configure in managing the very scarcity. The culture in the institution is applied to environmental licensing, while the conservative feature is smothered by the lack of staff, substructure and by the non-regulation of state laws concerning environmental protection areas. Although the deficient situation of local OEMA, since 1999, it is possible to check a decrease in the funds sent by the State Pursue. And in spite of the government discourses about sustainable development, in their actions, ruled by fiscal settlement instead of ensuring sustenance, contribute to enlarge the gaps found in the environment control and management, consequently, to the pollution and degradation of the environment in Pernambuco
