DUVAL, Guy. Health and environment in the process of development. Ciênc. saúde coletiva [online]. 1998, vol.3, n.2, pp. 7-16. ISSN 1413-8123.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81231998000200002.

We propose a constructivist systemic approach to study relations concerning Health, Environment and Development. Traditional disciplinary approaches are shown to be insufficient in providing comprehensive explanations for specific problems in this concern. From an integrative conceptualization of these issues, we justify our particular theoretic-methodological kind of analysis which we briefly present.
