Sumario:This article is concerned to the links between development and environment, but here it considers the centrality of the territory by the interaction between production activities and nature. A first presumption is that development is a complex process which takes place in a social and natural space and in a certain historical time. A second presumption is that the causes of the ecological crisis, which can be found in the logic which governs the process of capital accumulation, are filtered by the discourse of sustainability. Finally, the last presumption is that a territorial development, based on social inclusion and environmental prudence of certain localities/regions, may depend not so much from specific policies of insertion in the global economy: it probably depends more from the manner by which they interact with other regional structures of the respective national socioeconomic formation as also of the global economy. By analyzing so an subject one is submitted to much risks. The most serious is certainly that there is impossible to examine the links between development and the environment at the necessary profundity without entering diverse disciplines of knowledge. So, while development is a concept referred to the political economy, that of environment is referred to the political ecology, and that of territory is referred to the geography. It is necessary to advertise, first, that the point of departure is not the environment, but development; second, that the point of view is that of political economy; and third, that (perhaps of surprise for economists as also for biologists and geographers) it is assumed that production, in every space and every time, is responsible for the alleged ecological crisis.
