El interés por comprender e interpretar los vínculos entre población y ambiente se constituyó internacionalmente en materia pública a partir de los años sesenta, cuando la posición ambientalista reconoce la necesidad de analizar la presión ejercida por las poblaciones humanas sobre el medio natural. Este campo de estudio se vuelve considerablemente más complejo en la década de 1990, sobresaliendo las discusiones que en torno a dicha problemática plantearon las conferencias internacionales de población y ambiente. El presente estudio analiza el enfoque de las fuerzas mediadoras como perspectiva a partir de la cual se ha abordado la relación entre la dinámica demográfica y ambiental para explicar que el crecimiento poblacional per se no es la causa primera, ni el impacto más importante de la degradación ambiental.
ABSTRACT
Interest in understanding and interpreting the relationship between population and environment became an international public concern at the beginning of the 1960’s when environmentalists recognized the need to analyze the pressure human population puts on the environment. This field turned into a more complex study area in the ‘90’s decade, mostly because of the increase in discussions around the environmental and population problematic. The aim of this research is to analyze the meditational forces as trigger perspectives, from which the demography dynamics and environmentalist relationship have been understood. This perspective suggests that population growth per se is neither the primary cause nor the most important aspect of environmental degradation.
