Keywords: Environmental Movements Political Ecology Transnationalization International Relations. Based on these conjectures, the present article is structured in two parts: (1) a discussion on the process of internationalization of the environmental problem and the contemporary tensions between environment, ethics and international politics in Latin America (2) an analysis of issues brought on the political agenda by Latin American environmentalism operating in the heart of transnational contention within anti/alterglobalist movements. That is, the principles of unconditional sovereignty and non-interference – tenets that traditionally construct the contours of the field of “international relations” – are questioned by the growing transnationalization of political activism in favor of ethical and responsible conducts in the environmental field. Defenders of the idea that the international system emerges exclusively from the interaction between sovereign and independent political entities counter those who support the centrality on the eco-political agenda of many other actors that go beyond the Nation-State. The post-Cold War years make way for a renewal of the Latin American debate over the tensions between the environment, ethics and international politics. Palavras-chave: Movimentos Ambientalistas Ecologia Política Transnationalização. É com base nesses pressupostos que o presente artigo se estrutura em duas partes: (1) uma discussão sobre o processo de internacionalização da problemática ambiental e das tensões contemporâneas entre meio ambiente, ética e política internacional na América Latina (2) uma análise dos questionamentos trazidos para a agenda política por movimentos ambientalistas latino-americanos operando no seio da contestação transnacional dos movimentos anti/alterglobalistas. Ou seja, os princípios da soberania incondicionada e da não-ingerência – ordenadores tradicionais do sentido das “relações internacionais” – são questionados pela crescente transnacionalização do ativismo político a favor de condutas éticas e responsáveis no campo ambiental. Defensores da idéia de que o sistema internacional emerge exclusivamente da interação entre entidades políticas soberanas e independentes contrapõem-se aos que sustentam a centralidade na agenda ecopolítica de muitos outros atores para além do Estado. Os anos pós-Guerra Fria possibilitam uma renovação do debate latino-americano sobre as tensões entre meio ambiente, ética e política internacional. In Latin America, the outcry of the indigenous movements as well as the rubber tappers, the emergence of ecological urban movements and of the first green parties, the movement of those affected by dams (Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens -MAB movement), the boom of non-governmental organizations in the 1990s, as well as the anti/alterglobalist networks of the World Social Forum, have raised, in a heterogeneous and non-unified way, the flag of environmental protection and the demand for a profound reform of the economic model (LEIS, 1991 MARTINEZ-ALIER, 2007 MILANI, 1998). By introducing themes relating to the threat of poverty and environmental devastation, this report was able to create the desired political shock in the institutional realms: the ecological, economic, demographic and political dimensions of the crisis corroborated the emergence of a distinctly global issue (ANDRADE and TARAVELLA, 2008 CALDWELL, 1984 MILANI, 2000). The political structure, in opposition, was strongly mobilized by the alarm of the Club of Rome, upon the publication of the famous Meadows Report ("The Limits of Growth") in 1972.
