O desenvolvimento da região de sinop: a alternativa solidária e o papel da educação

Abstract

This dissertation deals with local potentialities in which are or may come to be used for the development of solidarity economy, in view of the context of the region of Sinop, in the north of the State of Mato Grosso. In search of alternatives and with the aim to overcome difficulties and limitations of the economic model established in this space, we present its economic and social-historical path, since the colonization in the 1970s decade and the potentialities of hegemonic discourse that then they were consolidated. We delineate the differences between the models of capitalist and solidarity economy, with a bibliographical and field work, through questionnaires and interviews, we identify evidences of potentialities of the region of Sinop, valid as indicative of an alternative model of development, such as the existence of sectors of economy adaptable to associative models and the willingness for a cooperative work. We think over the different potentialities encountered in the context of the research, we concluded the work with an approach of the contribution of education, especially to formal institutions that have an important role in the consolidation of alternative models.
