Main Article Content

Abstract

In law it is argued that it is not the "names" and/or "nomenclatures" that matter, and should not matter, but the effects of legal concepts and/or categories. Therefore, the concepts formulated by laws and regulations are functional, i.e. they are aimed - fundamentally - at integrating factual assumptions and legal consequences. In view of this previous disquisition, this article proposes a theoretical comparison of the insights that inspire the Environmental Impact Assessment System (Europe/Campaigns/Autonomous Communities) and Chapter II of Title V of the General Regulation of Environmental Management that develops Law Nº 1333 of the Environment (Bolivia) and also brings up the Ecuadorian legal experience (opening the door to an exploration -in extenso- that will have a later character and spirit).
