ABSTRACT
We can note the advanced stage of the process of globalization and
homogenization of the world, which has in the global development project
a strategic instrument. However, development is a contradictory concept

logic and have as consequences the planet environmental tragedy and the
disappearance of peripheral traditions and cultures. Industrial design and

countries in international mercantile relations. The cost of this project is high
because it has led to the suppression of ecosystems, a very serious threat
to biodiversity. Given the perception of this context, it aims to critically
analyze the Western development project, adopting methodological
assumptions of the ethics of the liberation of historical-critical review, with
which it is expected to highlight the need to decolonize the concept of

in theories of the common paths of resistance to universalize the capitalist
values.

BENS COMUNS NO CAPITALISMO
RESUMO
Nota-se o estágio avançado do processo de globalização e homogeneização
do mundo, que tem no projeto de desenvolvimento global um instrumento
estratégico. Todavia, o desenvolvimento é um conceito contraditório,

da lógica capitalista e ter como consequências a tragédia ambiental
planetária e o desaparecimento de tradições e culturas periféricas.

ordenamentos jurídicos, bem como incluindo países nas relações mercantis
internacionais. O custo desse projeto é elevado, pois tem conduzido à
supressão de ecossistemas, uma séria ameaça à biodiversidade. Diante
da percepção desse contexto, objetiva-se analisar criticamente o projeto
ocidental de desenvolvimento, adotando pressupostos metodológicos da
ética da libertação de revisão histórico-crítica, com as quais espera-se
evidenciar a necessidade de descolonizar o conceito de desenvolvimento,
tarefa que pode revelar no conceito de bens comuns e em teorizações do
comum caminhos de resistência à universalização dos valores capitalistas.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: desenvolvimento; direito ambiental; bens comuns;
descolonização; capitalismo.
