  • Representatividade E Inovação Na Governança Dos Processos Participativos: O Caso Das Organizações Brasileiras De Agricultores Familiares
    268 SOCIOLOGIAS ARTIGO Sociologias, Porto Alegre, ano 12, no 24, mai./ago. 2010, p. 268-306 Representatividade e inovação na governança dos processos participativos: o caso das organizações brasileiras de agricultores familiares RicaRdo abRamovay* Reginaldo magalhães** mônica schRodeR*** Resumo Desenvolvimento territorial supõe a participação organizada de atores sociais na tomada de decisões quanto ao uso dos recursos públicos – e, em grande parte, também privados – de uma região. Apesar das evidentes virtudes democráticas dos processos participativos amplia-se recentemente a literatura crítica que coloca em dúvida seus resultados. Organizações oriundas de movimentos sociais são protago- nistas decisivos de processos participativos. Este texto procura mostrar uma das mais importantes tensões que vivem os movimentos sociais contemporâneos: a que opõe representatividade e inovação. Movimentos representativos tendem a consolidar e enrijecer interesses, e sua institucionalização os empurra em direção a atitudes roti- neiras que bloqueiam, muitas vezes, seus potenciais inovadores. Uma saída para os impasses dos movimentos sociais está em modalidades de governança da participa- ção social voltadas explicitamente, à aprendizagem e à inovação. O texto se apóia no exemplo da política brasileira de fortalecimento da agricultura familiar e examina duas organizações egressas de movimentos sociais: a Federação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura Familiar (FETRAF), uma organização sindical, e o Sistema CRESOL de Crédito Solidário, um conjunto de cooperativas. Ambas estimulam processos parti- cipativos e têm vínculos com políticas governamentais. No caso do sindicalismo, en- tretanto, a participação social é pouco inovadora e os laços com o Governo tendem * Professor Titular do Departamento de Economia Faculdade de Economia e Administração, da Cátedra Sérgio Buarque de Holanda da École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) e pesquisador do Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa Científica e Tecnológica (CNPq) www.econ.

  • Para Uma Teoria Dos Estudos Territoriais
    1 Para uma Teoria de Estudos Territoriais1 2 Ricardo Abramovay Resumo: A abordagem territorial do processo de desenvolvimento ganha ímpeto a partir do início dos anos 1980 com base na literatura neo-marshalliana que soube identificar nos laços diretos entre atores sociais uma das razões para a formação de sistemas produtivos localizados, tão importantes para a industrialização difusa. Os estudos rurais beneficiam-se particularmente desta abordagem e estimulam a percepção de que o meio rural vai muito além da agricultura e que a compreensão de sua dinâmica exige que se analise a maneira como nele interagem os diferentes atores sociais. Curiosamente, porém, a literatura sobre desenvolvimento territorial é marcadamente normativa e a ela faltam definições teóricas claras sobre a natureza dos laços sociais que formam os territórios. Este artigo, com base nas contribuições teóricas da nova sociologia econômica – e sobretudo de Neil Fligstein – propõe que os territórios sejam estudados a partir da noção de campos, de Pierre Bourdieu. Se os territórios são laços sociais, o mais importante é que se compreenda a natureza da cooperação – das habilidades sociais, para usar a expressão de Fligstein – que neles se exprime. Os mercados existentes nos diferentes territórios também devem ser abordados como campos de força em que diferentes atores procuram obter a cooperação alheia e obtêm, por aí, suas possibilidades de dominação social. 1. Virtudes da noção de território A noção de território favorece o avanço nos estudos das regiões rurais ao menos em quatro dimensões básicas. a) Em primeiro lugar, ela convida a que se abandone um horizonte estritamente setorial, que considera a agricultura como o único setor e os agricultores como os únicos atores - junto com os demais integrantes das cadeias agroindustriais – que importam nas regiões rurais.

  • Polanyi and the Institutional Structure of East-Asian Capitalism: from Embeddedness to Under Regulation
    Seminário Temático 02 Análise sociológica dos fenômenos econômicos Coordenadores : Ricardo Abramovay, USP;Roberto Grün,UFSCar; Cécile Raud Mattedi ,UFSC Polanyi and the Institutional Structure of East-Asian Capitalism: From Embeddedness to Under Regulation Leonardo Burlamaqui [email protected] University Candido Mendes and State University of Rio de Janeiro August, 2004 Paper prepared for ANPOCS Annual Meeting Caxambú, October: 26-30, 2004 Burlamaqui 2 Abstract As we begin the New Millennium, it’s safe to say that one of the most important authors in the topic of “The Global Economy” or International Economic Sociology (still) is Karl Polanyi.To go strait to the point: Karl Polanyi is completely back in business. We hear of his ideas translated as insights about “the volatility of markets”,we are told about a “new great transformation” in the West and another in Eastern Europe . We can see echoes of his thought in a book designed to access the relationship between economic ideology and Japanese industrial policy (Gao, 1997), and we, finally, begin to see huge collections of essays dedicated to him (Hollingsworth and Boyer, 1997, Adaman and Devine 2002). The present paper tries to follow that recent track. It’s aim is to take Polanyi’s idea of the economy as an instituted process, and particularly his concepts of “reciprocity”, “redistribution” and “markets” as well as Peter Evan’s concept of “embedded autonomy” in order to show how they – once reworked- can be used as interpretative complementary devices for understanding the coordination of an economic system propelled by innovations, dependent on credit, surrounded by radical uncertainty and prone to instability.
