| Summary: | Present on the global agenda during virtually the entire second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, and formally institutionalized in 1987 by the United Nations, Sustainable Development is today one of humanity’s greatest concerns and a discourse in constant dispute. Coming from the combination of concepts of development and sustainability, Sustainable Development is important for understanding and solving problems faced by humanity. However, it is a concept that is still under construction. This article seeks to present Sustainable Development as an ideologically disputed field that faces conceptual and political conflicts. It is important to recognize that Sustainable Development is not unrelated to the levels of consumption and production that its conceptual scope addresses. Therefore, the relations of power towards Sustainable Development must lead to a collective agency. Thus, the objective of this study is to describe the dispute over the concept of Sustainable Development existing between the theories of Strong Sustainability and Weak Sustainability. The results obtained were analyzed by the authors and helped to draw a temporal panorama of the clashes between these two antagonistic theoretical lines. |
