Abstract

This paper offers subsidies for academic debate about the viability of alternative development strategies in protected coastal areas, in the current asymmetrical globalization scenario. The line of reasoning stresses the application of the sustainable territorial development concept for the integrated and participatory coastal areas management system process in course in the Santa Catarina State. The first part presents an overall view of the regulation process of the tools used in the Brazilian Protected Areas Management System. The paper also presents a synthesis of the building process of the “Integrated Management of Marine-Coastal Protected Areas in Santa Catarina State” project. Then, it explores the potential of a territorial development framework to integrate the National Protected Areas System and the National Coastal Management Plan. It ends with the rationale used to justify the need for more substantial in-vestments in political-ecological research on socio-environmental conflict mediation and promotion of territorial governance systems in these areas.
