Green democracy, Ecological democracy, Sustainable democracy, Environmental democracy, Environmental approachesAbstract
This article aims to identify the predominant environmental approaches, from the analytical forms of Foladori and Sauvé, in scientific discourses that deals with the relationship between democracy and environment, considering the denominations environmental, green, ecological and sustainable democracy. For this, it was used a research of qualitative and descriptive approach, with corpus constituted by the method of integrative review, being considered 61 articles (scientific speeches) whose data were treated by the interpretative analysis and identification of environmental approaches. It was observed, at the end, that by uniting two constructs (democracy and environment) that have discursive marks of participation, human action and effects on ecological systems, the discourses on green, ecological, sustainable and environmental democracies in the analytical form of Foladori (2000) have a predominant anthropocentrist tendency with emphasis on Marxist thought, In the analytical form of Sauvé (2005) the discourses are predominant in recent currents, highlighting the critical, praxis, bioregionalist and sustainability approaches, by the very incidence of environmental discourses, which have gained strength since the 90's, in different actors and international debates about society-nature relations.
