Políticas públicas e meio ambiente: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract

The environment in Brazil is considered a fundamental right, and the development of external public policies to resolve negative externalities caused to the environment is a prerogative of the State. Given this, the research aimed to analyze the scientific corpus that relates external public policies to environmental issues. The methodology used in this study involves carrying out a bibliometric analysis, using the Scopus database and the VosViewer software for creating maps. With this, maps of co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation were created, to highlight the most involved topics on the subject. The results showed that the term most used in scientific documents focuses on the development of public policies external to the issue of environmental valorization, linked to the idea of corrective tax. The research also showed that Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) appears frequently in the references of the works analyzed.
