Are sought negotiated solutions involving economic, political, technological and behavioral aspects, which are correlated with the power differentials and the asymmetries that mark the international system. Important to analyze the ideological process of commodification in which Amazon has been submitted and how the Law and Foreign Policy can act in the service of sustainability. The research used the monographic method, through bibliographical and documentary research, using a dialectical approach.
