Środowisko życia człowieka i jego rozwój w kontekście politycznym i ekologicznym


Abstrakt:

Human environment and its development in the political and ecological context.
Broad access to all kinds of information along with globalization have given the
highest status of importance to the issues related to the environment and its quality.
While the crises arising in the past were of class or territorial character, currently
they are very often connected with the access to high quality environmental supplies.
This is a new kind of risk, and that is why it also requires new political response.
The environmental aspects are in the field of interest of each government; they are
also included in the programs of political parties, as well as they are the subject
of treaties or other international documents. However the term “environment” has
become of political importance recently. The environment – becoming the subject
of international cooperation and considered as a locus politicus – has caused irreversible
changes in the foreign policy. Growing power of public opinion and development
of civil society are one of the most important factors stimulating the process
of emancipation of the term “environment”. But the question arises, why they have
played such an important role in the context of the environment? This article is just
an attempt to analyze the relationship among the public opinion and civil society
versus doctrines concerning the “environment” and ecological consciousness.
