Trabalho docente universitário: participação dos professores na materialização da contrarreforma da educação superior na UFPA

O objetivo central deste estudo é analisar como o trabalho docente, desenvolvido por professores da Universidade Federal do Pará, materializa a contrarreforma da educação superior que tem como uma de suas centralidades a privatização/mercantilização da universidade pública. Considera que a investigação sobre o trabalho docente universitário, alterado em função do processo de contrarreforma da educação superior, pressupõe a compreensão da totalidade social, com seus condicionantes estruturais e conjunturais, ou seja, inserido no modo de produção capitalista. Dessa forma, analisa o trabalho docente, considerando sua natureza e especificidade, enquanto fração da classe-que-vive-do-trabalho, no contexto da crise estrutural do capital e do consequente processo de reestruturação produtiva, com a constituição do regime de acumulação flexível. Destaca o processo de contrarreforma da educação superior brasileira, orientada por organismos internacionais, principalmente o Banco Mundial, e efetivada a partir da atual LDB. Apresenta como hipótese de Tese que é, principalmente, por meio do trabalho docente que a contrarreforma da educação superior se efetiva, sendo que nesse processo, os professores identificam as mudanças em seu trabalho como consequência da privatização/mercantilização da universidade pública, porém, hegemonicamente não percebem que essas modificações estão articuladas na estrutura societal capitalista, legitimando, assim, a mesma. Dessa forma, com base em suportes teórico-metodológicos do materialismo histórico-dialético, analisa a concepção de universidade dos trabalhadores (a partir de indicadores, tais como: democracia, autonomia, prestação de serviços, relação universidade e mercado), para compreender os fundamentos político-ideológicos do trabalho desenvolvido por professores universitários. Foram utilizados dados estatísticos, documentos e entrevistas com docentes da Universidade Federal do Pará, analisados com base nos postulados bakhtinianos, da Análise do Discurso. Em suma, a pesquisa desenvolvida confirmou a hipótese de Tese anunciada, com o acréscimo da seguinte conclusão: o trabalho docente universitário insere-se no contexto da luta de classes e, assim sendo, essa resistência também implica na reafirmação de uma universidade pública e gratuita, diretamente vinculada aos interesses da classe-que-vive-do-trabalho.

O público e o privado na condução da gestão educacional pública brasileira

O texto de dissertação intitulado “O Público e o Privado na condução da Gestão Educacional Pública Brasileira” apresenta como objeto de estudo a gestão da educação pública no contexto do Plano de Ações Articuladas (PAR), considerando que tal instrumento é definido atualmente pelo Estado como o norteador das políticas educacionais e pressupomos que nele também se articulam interesses entre os representantes dos setores público e privado. O objetivo geral do estudo é analisar como a relação entre os setores público e privado se apresenta no contexto do Plano de Ações Articuladas. Para a fundamentação teórico-metodológica deste trabalho, consideramos importante o aporte com base no materialismo histórico-dialético, pois se mostra mais adequado à medida que possibilita uma visão crítica sobre a realidade analisada capturando suas contradições, em vista de que pretendemos trabalhar com o conhecimento da realidade documental que envolve a trama em torno do público e do privado na construção da gestão educacional pública. A pesquisa teve como metodologia a análise documental que foi construída num entrelaçamento da apreciação das autoras desta dissertação e à luz de alguns teóricos como Adrião e Camargo (2007), Cury (2013), Pinheiro (2005), Pino (2008), Saviani (2008, 2014), Severino (2014), Vieira (2007, 2010), Vieira e Vidal (2014) os quais tecem observações e fazem interpretações dos documentos que servem de referência a este estudo. De modo geral, os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que as relações e influências dos organismos internacionais são determinantes na formulação das políticas educacionais e das diretrizes e propostas de gestão educacional no contexto brasileiro, no final do século XX e início do século XXI. Mostraram, também, que a disputa entre os setores público e privado se ampliaram e se intensificaram no que concerne à organização da educação básica brasileira, no contexto dos marcos legais que a estruturam. E por fim, a relação entre o público e o privado, por meio do Plano de Ações Articuladas, se configura no âmbito de uma relação de interesses onde predomina o interesse individual de empresários, do qual, a lógica privada é dominante, em detrimento do interesse coletivo da sociedade.

Multilatinas na global economy. historical characterization, sectorial and space

The successive crises for which has passed in the world economy since the years 1970, together with the United States 'hegemonic crisis, have created the conditions for the reordering and the construction of a multipolar world, with the increasing importance of some peripheral countries into the world economy, particularly with regard to capital flows.

Politiche di sviluppo e questione etnica. La cooperazione italiana IN Bosnia Erzegovina

The globalization process of the last twenty years has changed the world through international flows of people, policies and practices. International cooperation to development is a part of that process and brought International Organizations (IOs) and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) from the West to the rest of the world. In my thesis I analyze the Italian NGOs that worked in Bosnia Herzegovina (BH) to understand which development projects they realized and how they faced the ethnic issue that characterized BH. I consider the relation shaped between Italian NGOs and Bosnian civil society as an object of ethnic interests. In BH, once part of former Yugoslavia, the transition from the communist regime to a democratic country has not been completed. BH’s social conditions are characterized by strong ethnic divisions. The legacy of the early 1990s crisis was a phenomenon of ethnic identities created before the war and that still endure today. The Dayton Peace Agreement signed in 1995 granted the peace and reinforced the inter-ethnic hate between the newly recognized three principal ethnicities: Serbs, Croats and Bosniak. Through the new constitution, the institutions were characterized by division at every level, from the top to the bottom of society. Besides it was the first constitution ever written and signed outside the own country; that was the root of the state of exception that characterized BH. Thus ethnic identities culture survived through the international political involvement. At the same time ethnic groups that dominated the political debate clashed with the international organization’s democratic purpose to build a multicultural and democratic state. Ethnic and also religious differences were the instruments for a national statement that might cause the transition and development projects failure. Fifteen years later social fragmentation was still present and it established an atmosphere of daily cultural violence. Civil society suffered this condition and attended to recreate the ethnic fragmentation in every day life. Some cities became physically divided and other cities don’t tolerated the minority presence. In rural areas, the division was more explicit, from village to village, without integration. In my speech, the anthropology for development – the derivative study from applied anthropology – constitutes the point of view that I used to understand how ethnic identities still influenced the development process in BH. I done ethnographic research about the Italian cooperation for development projects that were working there in 2007. The target of research were the Italian NGOs that created a relation with Bosnian civil society; they were almost twenty divided in four main field of competences: institutional building, education, agriculture and democratization. I assumed that NGOs work needed a deep study because the bottom of society is the place where people could really change their representation and behavior. Italian NGOs operated in BH with the aim of creating sustainable development. They found cultural barricade that both institutions and civil society erected when development projects have been applied. Ethnic and religious differences were stressed to maintain boundaries and fragmented power. Thus NGOs tried to negotiate development projects by social integration. I found that NGOs worked among ethnic groups by pursuing a new integration. They often gained success among people; civil society was ready to accept development projects and overcome differences. On the other hand NGOs have been limited by political level that sustained the ethnic talk and by their representation of Bosnian issue. Thus development policies have been impeded by ethnic issue and by cooperation practices established on a top down perspective. Paradoxically, since international community has approved the political ethnic division within DPA, then the willing of development followed by funding NGOs cooperation projects was not completely successful.

Rural governance and livelihoods systems diversification in the Western Balkans: comparative case studies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia

Agriculture is still important for socio-economic development in rural areas of Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia (BMS). However, for sustainable rural development rural economies should be diversified so attention should be paid also to off-farm and non-farm income-generating activities. Agricultural and rural development (ARD) processes and farm activity diversification initiatives should be well governed. The ultimate objective of this work is to explore linkages between ARD governance and rural livelihoods diversification in BMS. The thesis is based on an extended secondary data analysis and surveys. Questionnaires for ARD governance and coordination were sent via email to public, civil society and international organizations. Concerning rural livelihood diversification, the field questionnaire surveys were carried out in three rural regions of BMS. Results show that local rural livelihoods are increasingly diversified but a significant share of households are still engaged in agriculture. Diversification strategies have a chance to succeed taking into consideration the three rural regions’ assets. However, rural households have to tackle many problems for developing new income-generating activities such as the lack of financial resources. Weak business skills are also a limiting factor. Fully exploiting rural economy diversification potential in BMS requires many interventions including improving rural governance, enhancing service delivery in rural areas, upgrading rural people’s human capital, strengthening rural social capital and improving physical capital, access of the rural population to finance as well as creating a favourable and enabling legal and legislative environment fostering diversification. Governance and coordination of ARD policy design, implementation and evaluation is still challenging in the three Balkan countries and this has repercussions also on the pace of rural livelihoods diversification. Therefore, there is a strong and urgent need for mobilization of all rural stakeholders and actors through appropriate governance arrangements in order to foster rural livelihoods diversification and quality of life improvement.
