Public Politics of health and socio-environmental sustainability: social management front to the societynature relation.

Abstract

This article analyzes the political-economic processes that seek the call sustainability of economic and social development, performing a necessary correlation with the analytical formulation of public health policies. Its objective is to highlight the fragile dialogue between sectoral policies, especially the relationship between health policies and policies for the environment. Argues that health policies do not contemplate the idea of environmental sustainability as part of the expanded health concept, demonstrating that it has not surpassed the concept of health as the mere absence of disease. Evidence that under the management performed by the state through planning policies addressing public problems of society, there is a lack of transetorialização policies with a focus on environmental sustainability, which reflects inconsistently in the context of public policy in particular in the health sector.
