Entre o desenvolvimentismo e o pós-desenvolvimentismo: Projeto Alternativo de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável e Solidário como instrumento de ação política do MSTTR

Abstract

The subject of this thesis talk about the political project Alternative Project of Solidarity Sustainable Rural Development (PADRSS), an instrument of political action constructed by Union Movement of Workers and Rural Workers (SMTTR) in the context of re-democratization of the country. In this dispute scenario with the authoritarian political projects and the neoliberal represented by agribusiness, and the influx of critical thinking exercise to the unilineal development, MSTTR got earnings cognitive throughout its history which was decisive to mobilization of the PADRSS’s construction as alternative for developing the rural world. We seek to analyze PADRSS in terms of developmental and post-developmental perspectives and identify MSTTR repertoires and interactions with State to fit propositions and conceptions from PADRSS in order to transform it in public politics. This qualitative based research was focused on content analysis using NVivo software, and as primary sources the National Congresses of Workers and Rural Workers (CNTTR) - raised to the rank of actor event – and semi-structured interviews with actors/actresses who worked in the formulation of the PADRSS between 1995 and 2010, period of FHC and Lula da Silva Eras. It was possible to verify that during construction process of the PADRSS, the MSTTR formulated diagnostic and prognostic frames about FHC and Lula da Silva Eras, and in this frames we found MSTTR’S efforts to fit propositions and conceptions of this political project in state institutions, using action repertoires and socio-state interactions, and also organizational repertoire’s activation. Finally, we found a political project that fits to an alternative development of the rural world, which constitutes an amalgam of concepts, categories, propositions, conceptions and experiences correlated to developmental and post-developmental approaches, considerably sustained by the interdependent character between social, economic, environmental, interactional factors and state institutions.
