Resumo: | This article aims to observe the social deficit around the perception of the meaning of nanotechnologies by ordinary citizens (not experts), which operates as an obstacle to the principle of democratic participation for regulation of ecologically balanced environment, inserted in art. 225 of the 1988 Constitution. Its research problem was: what benefits and obstacles the constitutional principle of democratic participation faces in society for regulation of nanotechnology risk? As a hypothesis it follows that, despite the constitutional commandments that open room for various means of democratic participation since 1988, the greatest obstacle faced by the jurist when analyzing the social effectiveness of these standards is the knowledge gap about nanotechnology among the sectors already working with nanotechnological development and the general public. To achieve its general objective, the work was divided into three sections, each corresponding to a specific objective: a) to present the basic characteristics of nanotechnology and what is beneficial for man and the environment in its development; b) to examine the possibilities to occur the nanotechnological developing countries like Brazil; c) to demonstrate that, even though democratic participation for regulation of nanotechnology is constitutional, we are still facing an overall disparity of understanding about nanotechnologies in general public’s opinions, as well as among scientists. In conclusion, we found that: a) there are benefits to mankind and to the environment with nanotechnology development – however, there are also great risks; b) there is a very great risk of seeing nanotechnological development significantly increase the social gap between developed and developing countries; c) there is a great disparity in perception of nanotechnology among lay people and experts hindering its democratic regulation. The methodology used in this paper is hypothetical-deductive. |

Este artigo objetiva observar o déficit social de percepção do significado das nanotecnologias pelos cidadãos comuns (não especialistas), o qual opera como óbice ao princípio da participação democrática para a regulação do meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado, insculpido no art. 225 da Constituição Federal de 1988. Seu problema de pesquisa foi: que benefícios e óbices o princípio constitucional da participação democrática encontra na sociedade para a regulação do risco nanotecnológico? Como hipótese tem-se que, apesar dos mandamentos constitucionais abrindo margem para diversos meios de participação democrática desde 1988, o maior óbice com que se depara o jurista ao analisar a eficácia social destas normas é a disparidade de conhecimento acerca das nanotecnologias entre os setores já ocupados com o desenvolvimento nanotecnológico e o público em geral. Para a consecução deste objetivo geral, dividiu-se o trabalho em três seções, cada uma correspondente a um objetivo específico: a) apresentar as características básicas das nanotecnologias, bem como o que há de benéfico para o homem e o meio ambiente em seu desenvolvimento; b) analisar as possibilidades de ocorrer o desenvolvimento nanotecnológico em países como o Brasil; c) demonstrar que, mesmo sendo constitucional a participação democrática para a regulação das nanotecnologias, ainda se está diante de uma total disparidade de entendimento em relação às nanotecnologias nas opiniões do público em geral e dos cientistas. Como conclusões, tem-se que: a) há benefícios para o homem e o meio ambiente com o desenvolvimento nanotecnológico – porém, há grandes riscos também; b) há um risco muito grande de o desenvolvimento nanotecnológico aumentar significativamente o fosso social entre países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento; c) há grande disparidade na percepção das nanotecnologias entre leigos e especialistas dificultando sua regulação democrática.
