Abstract

This article analyzes the role to be accomplished by the economic law as the articulating element of society-nature relationship in order to achieve an integral development for Colombia within the framework of the social right State. This purpose implies the establishment of the origins of economic law from the relationships which emerge between law and economics and presenting it as an autonomous branch of law and differentiating it from the approach of the economic analysis of law. From this point of view, the economic law has become an important tool to facilitate the governmental intervention in the economy in order to correct market failures, including the ones arising from contamination. The big challenge for humankind in the 21st century is to search for the way to solve environmental damage issues; in this sense, this article shows the economic law as a good alternative to reach the balance of the relationships between society and nature.
