O território nas políticas de desenvolvimento rural do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA): consenso ou conflito?

Abstract

The present study has as object of research policy of territorial development (TD) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), related to Rural Areas. The central objective turns to the prospect of territorial rural development and its impact on contemporary Brazilian countryside. The theoretical and methodological perspective underlies the critical current poststructuralist (postdevelopmentalism and modernism critical), as Peet (2007), Gómez (2006, 2007, 2008), among others. In this sense, asks whether the strategic actions of the State would, in fact, contributing to the effective assertion of territory as concrete and living representative of social subjects involved. What leads to the conclusion that the DT builds its applicability under the aegis of dynamic integration market, premised on the politics of consensus, rather than constitutive essence of the area: the conflict. Masking the contradiction - mark dispute between the hegemonic interests of the game and counter-hegemonic. Finally, consider that the territory of policies designed to MDA resembles much more a rhetorical euphemism to speech development, anchored in the logic of the capitalist market, forgetting the conflict approach. Elects itself as opposed to (de) construction of developmentalist ideology and, under these bases the assertion on the size of the conflict premised on the (re) construction of the imaginary of development under other looks possible.
