Situando o desenvolvimento rural no Brasil: o contexto e as questões em debate

Addressing rural development discussions in Brazil: context and issues of debate. The work analyzes the main theoretical trends and subjects that integrate the recent Brazilian debate about rural development. We agued that the agenda of the rural development in Brazil, on which actively participate scholars, organizations and institutions, have been formulated by the State and the public politics implemented since the beginning of the 1990. Among the factors that had influenced the emergency of the debate about rural development is distinguished the increasing social and political legitimating of family farming and the agrarian reform, the reorientation of the state policies, the increasing sharply political and ideological quarrels with the agribusiness wing and the matters about sustainability. It is also argued that the analytical and interpretative references that have being used by the scholars are still diffuse and varied, but has been capable to influence the policy makers.

Destaca o importante esforço de reconstrução do Estado e da introdução de instrumentos de controle da política econômica nacional, materializados pelo extraordinário trabalho da Assessoria Econômica da Presidência (51-54), criada por Vargas, onde pontificaram nomes de grandes brasileiros como Rômulo de Almeida, Ignácio Angel, Jesus Soares Pereira, Cleanto Paiva Leite e Tomás P. Acioli Borges, verdadeiros artífices de nossos principais projetos e planos de desenvolvimento de então.
