Previous issue date: 2015-05-07 / The adoption of the powers of logic to discuss Sustainable Development (SD) in the
business environment arises from the concern of developing actions that recognize
the strategic environmental issue in the relationship with stakeholders. In this context,
Stone (2005) analyzes the emergence and performance of a relevant actor, the Think
Tanks, which are groups seeking to influence governments and companies to adopt
certain discourses and initiatives. Among these actors emerge those who are
engaged in building an agenda for the business world into the DS, as the World
Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). But what sense the
educational actions taken by these think tanks take in this process? What kind of
skills promote? To answer these questions we chose to study the performance of the
Think Tank WBCSD, from Derrida's deconstruction. Took to this discourse and Skills
Development Actions for Sustainability (SDfS), held by the Boards (BCSDs) of Brazil
and Portugal. The research question that guided this research was as follows: What
are the meanings of SDfS initiatives, disseminated by the WBCSD, which are
revealed in his speeches and educational activities? In the study of the trajectory
analyzed the documents that present the thought of the DS entity (Vision 2050 and
Action 2020) in order to understand the discourses and sustainable initiatives. In
addition, interviews were performed with Coordinators, Associate Specialists and
BCSD Brazil and BCSD Portugal to understand the initiatives and educational
activities of DCPS developed by these councils between the years 2010 to 2013. To
understand this discursive game developed the metaphor read Think Tanke, used to
analyze the performance of the WBCSD, which can develop a "thought armored car"
closed the other translations, and/or assume the posture of a moderator speeches,
most associated with the "thought tank " Explains that the "tank" is a popular
technology that is based on the principles of sustainability and is applied in the
Northeast of Brazil through water harvesting during the rainy season, so that the
supply times of crisis to use liquid reserved. In this sense, the "thinking tank" is the
work of "think tanke " that opens the diversity of opinions and readings in order to
develop strategies to act in a sustainable way in times of plenty and in crisis
situations. In light of Derrida, the survey results show the ambiguities and the nature
of expertise in the speeches and initiatives that predominate in SDfS programs.
Values to adapt the business to DS logic in a discursive context that want to build a
new relationship between business and society, expressed in the document Vision
2050, but still can not be consistent enough to consolidate an effective change. For
the WBCSD go in his ways the entity needs to recognize its responsibility in the
concrete and the effectiveness of SDfS initiatives. This finding requires that the
entity's educational activities as well as developing skills to meet the urgent
environmental crisis, also needs to promote more associated skills to understand a "
thought tank" that seek to respond social and environmental issues in their
complexity when considering the various translations on the theme. / A adoção da lógica de competências para discutir o Desenvolvimento Sustentável
(DS) no ambiente empresarial surge a partir da preocupação em desenvolver ações
que reconhecem a questão socioambiental estratégica na relação com os
stakeholders. Neste contexto, Stone (2005) analisa a emergência e atuação de um
ator relevante, os Think Tanks, que são grupos que buscam influenciar os governos
e as empresas a adotar determinados discursos e iniciativas. Entre esses atores
emergem aqueles que se ocupam em construir uma agenda para o mundo
empresarial em direção ao DS, como o Conselho Empresarial Mundial para o
Desenvolvimento Sustentável (WBCSD). Mas que sentido as ações educacionais
promovidas por estes Think Tanks assumem nesse processo? Que natureza de
competências promovem? Para responder a estas perguntas optou-se por estudar a
atuação do Think Tank WBCSD, à luz da desconstrução de Derrida. Tomaram-se
para isso os discursos de Desenvolvimento de Competências para a
Sustentabilidade (DCpS), realizado pelos Conselhos (BCSDs) de Brasil e Portugal. A
pergunta de pesquisa que orientou a presente investigação foi a que segue: Quais
as traduções da lógica de DCpS, disseminadas pelo WBCSD, que se revelam em
seus discursos educacionais? Na trajetória do estudo analisaram-se os documentos
que apresentam o pensamento de DS da entidade (Visão 2050 e Ação 2020), a fim
de entender os discursos e as iniciativas sustentáveis. Paralelamente, realizaram-se
entrevistas com Coordenadores, Associados e Especialistas do BCSD Brasil e do
BCSD Portugal para compreender as iniciativas e ações educativas de DCpS
desenvolvidas por estes Conselhos entre os anos de 2010 a 2013. Para entender
este jogo discursivo desenvolveu-se a metáfora de leitura Think Tanke, que serve
para analisar a atuação do WBCSD, que pode desenvolver um pensamento carro
blindado , fechado a outras traduções, e/ou assumir a postura de um moderador de
discursos, mais associado ao pensamento cisterna . Explica-se que a cisterna é
uma tecnologia popular que se baseia nos princípios de sustentabilidade e é
aplicada no Nordeste do Brasil por meio da captação de água nos períodos de
chuva, a fim de que nos momentos de crise de abastecimento utilize-se o líquido
reservado. Nesse sentido, o pensamento cisterna representa a atuação do think
tanke que se abre à diversidade de opiniões e leituras visando desenvolver
estratégias para agir de um modo sustentável nos períodos de abundância e nas
situações de crise. À luz de Derrida, os resultados da pesquisa revelam as
ambiguidades e a natureza das competências presentes nos discursos e nas
iniciativas que predominam nos programas de DCpS. Valoriza-se a adaptação dos
empresários à lógica do DS num contexto discursivo que deseja a construção de
uma nova relação entre empresa e sociedade, expressa no documento Visão 2050,
mas que ainda não consegue ser consistente o suficiente para consolidar uma
mudança efetiva. Para que o WBCSD avance em seu modo de agir, a entidade
necessita reconhecer a sua responsabilidade na concretude e na efetividade das
iniciativas de DCpS. Essa constatação exige que as ações educacionais da entidade
além de desenvolver competências para responder a crise ambiental urgente,
também precisa promover competências mais associadas a compreensão de um
pensamento cisterna , que buscam responder a questão socioambiental em sua
complexidade ao considerar as diversas traduções sobre a temática.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
