El impacto de las normas internacionales de medio ambiente el caso del desarrollo sostenible en el marco de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Desarrollo Sostenible - Río + 20.

摘要

The resulting document, "The Future We Want" by the United Nations Conference onSustainable Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012, has been vastly criticizedby international organizations, academics and the media, considered to be vague,ambiguous and unambitious. Civil society has expressed frustration with the lack ofcommitment of states towards sustainable development. The following paper aims toexplain why sustainable development has not been effectively internalized by states. Forthis, I present comparison between the study of norms of the social constructivist theory ofinternational relations and the evolution of the idea of "sustainable development"interpreted as an international norm. The objective of this comparative analysis is todetermine, according to the theory, what stage of its evolution is the norm of sustainabledevelopment in, what have been the obstacles for this norm to be internalized in thedecisions of states and what challenges it faces to be legitimized as "normal behavior" inthe international system
