A ecologia política e a avaliação de políticas públicas: reexplorando o caso de Tatajuba, Ceará

Abstract

The article interests to propose a methodological interface between political ecology, the ethnographic method and evaluation of public policies. How to articulate a methodological interdisciplinary conversation between the social and environmental studies on coastal issues, intensive field research and analysis of national/regional agendas of development? The article shows the hypothesis that the studies in political ecology, which keep track of the interactions between human populations and specific biophysical environments, could be a third proposal of knowledge to enter into dialogue with studies that articulate the ethnographic analysis and evaluation of public policies. In order to think this interface, we propose a situational analysis of ethnographic accounts of a meeting sponsored by Associação Comunitária dos Moradores de Tatajuba (ACOMOTA), political event conducive to reflection on the political ecological actions of the Programa de Desenvolvimento do Turismo do Nordeste (PODETUR/NE) in macro-region where that is located the maritime community.
