Gestão Social em Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários: uma abordagem no Oeste Potiguar

The central research question was to search for data to ratify the theory and discourse of the so-called practitioners of economic solidarity, by defending the substantive rationality should guide the principles of economic solidary, designing the space economy incidental and not the primacy of relations in determining social as well, reflecting the predominance of dimensions of social management in administrative practices of ESS's. For both analyzed the theoretical dimensions of social management - sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental - manifested in organizational practices supportive of economic organization Potiguar West. For the success of the research realized the triangulation involving a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. At first the research will use a quantitative approach, from the cluster analysis, to verify the behavior of the sample chosen for this study. In the second stage of the qualitative study was carried out focus group technique (FLICK, 2002) for further analysis of the dimensions of social management on organizational practices supportive of economic organization, related to the principles of Solidary Economy, established in a quantitative approach. In quantitative analysis, the socio-political dimension, it was clear that the more equity instruments of internal and external, from the purposeful living in public spaces, the best monetary results. Another point worth stressing concerns the economic dimension, with the practice reciprocity prevailing in market. Thus, the qualitative approach was possible to understand the processes of exchange of product or service. Rural enterprises surveyed in the allocation of the agro-ecological products have the following scale of priority, sequentially: self-consumption (domestic), market and exchange. The research leads to the fact that training and practices that enhance the socio-political dimension (knowledge, empowerment, sense of belonging) become the guiding principle for the strengthening of the social management in the context of other dimensions, leading to gains sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental. Despite the weaknesses found in the organizational dimension and environment, both in a quantitative as in qualitative, we determined that the practices of ESS's Potiguar West incorporate predominantly elements of social management and economic solidarity, with a preponderance of substantive rationality in the primacy of the instrumental. Finally, research has brought information that the participants of the ESS's do not give the money economy primacy in determining social relations, which in turn leads to the confirmation that, in practice the solidarity economy, prevailing the dominance of substantive rationality, as a guide for organizational practices

Geração de renda e ocupações na cadeia agroindustrial de castanha de caju no Rio Grande do Norte: o caso do sertão de Apodi

This work is part of the research group studying agribusiness chains, by characterizing agroindustrial chain of cashew nuts in Rio Grande do Norte, with special emphasis on Sertão de Apodi Citizenship Territory, showing their different flows and linkages and analyzes generating jobs and income in the production of this good, from the experience of COOPAPI, using as a methodology for analyzing the input-output matrix. And this is justified by the fact that Brazil is in the context as the world's fifth largest producer of cashew nuts and the production of this product focus in the Northeast, especially the Rio Grande do Norte, which is the second largest producer of region, behind only the state of Ceará, which is the largest producer in the country. Moreover, in recent years the state has increased its insertion in international markets this product, particularly the Mossoró-Assu Territory, which constitutes the largest producer in the state, particularly the municipality of Serra do Mel, which has an arrangement different yield, based on the model of integrated rural development, embodied in family farming. Nevertheless, the Sertão de Apodi Citizenship appear as the fourth among the Citizenship territories of Rio Grande do Norte in the ranking of the production of cashew nuts, but the prevailing model of Cooperatives in the Territory, based on the Solidarity Economy, i,e, different from the old cooperative, which is based on the precepts as patronage, with cooperative owners, favor, etc.., encourages scientific research. In this, after a careful analysis of data from field research, it was noticed that among the links in the chain, the production link is what generates the most jobs, while the processing link commands to generate income, but a portion meaningful occupations and income are generated outside the territory, especially out of state RN, denouncing the gap in supply of some specific demands within the chain

O tempo de trabalho em sua dimensão subjetiva

Cet article expose les résultats d une recherche scientifique ayant d abord conçu la manière dont les coopératives de travail, géerées par une Économie Solidaire, pourraient se présenter comme un espace d expression de subjectivité du travailleur associé. À partir de la précision des objetifs, on y a poursuivi à la recherche d une coopéerative étant réglée d après les principes de l Économie Solidaire. Après avoir examiné de diverses coopératives, il a été conçu que CooperSol s est au fur et à mesure constituée un partenaire avantageux et s est également montrée grâce aux observations et témoignages étant un espace d expression de la subjectivité du travailleur coopéré concernant l autogestion, le temps de travail et la création d une culture solidaire. L aspect présenté dans cet article se rapporte au temps de travail qui, chez CooperSol, gagne dans sa dimension subjective, qualitative, en tenant compte de certains éléments oubliés, comme l aspect cyclique et hétérogène du temps, ou bien, le temps vécu, guidé par le rythme habituel de la vie, en comptant sur plusieurs dimensions du quotidien.

Cooperativa agrícola resistência do Tocantins - CART: alternativa de organização sócio-produtiva do pequeno produtor rural em Cametá/Pará

Esta dissertação trata de uma análise sobre as estratégias de pequenos produtores rurais organizados em cooperativas na busca da garantia de trabalho e renda, no município de Cametá, Pará. De tal modo, considerou-se, inicialmente, as influências pelas condições de inserção social, produtiva e econômica e o incentivo pela Prelazia e instituições de assessoria que reforçam essa organização. Nesse trajeto, o Sindicato de Trabalhadores (as) Rurais motivaram lutas reivindicatórias para a melhoria das condições socioeconômicas locais em Cametá. As reflexões teóricas e a realidade prática, desses autores, mostram que as relações de promoção vêm sendo articuladas na perspectiva das transformações que tem impactado esse município, as quais foram agravadas desde a implantação dos grandes projetos na Amazônia, a exemplo da implantação da Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí, que alterou significativamente o modo de vida dessa população. Dessa forma, os trabalhadores rurais, organizados coletivamente, passaram a atuar pela superação dessas dificuldades, através de atividades produtivas como estratégia de desenvolvimento local sustentável, evidenciando a garantia de instrumentos para a produção e comercialização de frutos, com ênfase no açaí, mas também em outros produtos como a farinha de mandioca e recentemente as sementes oleaginosas. Portanto, desenvolve-se uma caracterização sócio-produtiva de Cametá, analisa-se o surgimento do STR - Cametá, a criação da CART, particularizando sua relação às estratégias de comercialização em rede por meio da organização do Consórcio de Comercialização e da Federação das Cooperativas da Agricultura Familiar e Economia Solidária - FECAFES como instrumento de valorização produtiva estratégica à organização dos pequenos produtores rurais de Cametá.

Desenvolvimento local sustentável como liberdade: uma experiência de planejamento estratégico do Grupo de Mulheres Erva Vida

A presente dissertação intitulada Desenvolvimento Local Sustentável como Liberdade: uma Experiência de Planejamento Estratégico do Grupo de Mulheres Erva Vida tem como objetivo principal analisar as perspectivas das participantes do grupo Erva Vida na discussão de estratégias que contribuam para o processo de desenvolvimento local sustentável. Alicerça seu arcabouço teórico, na apropriação do conceito de Instrumental Freedoms (IF’s) , discutidas por Amartya Sen (2000). São ao mesmo tempo o fim e o meio do processo de desenvolvimento. Estão entrelaçadas e se fortalecem à medida que são alcançadas. Essas liberdades instrumentais foram denominadas de political freedom; econômic facilities; social opportunities; transparency e guarantees e measures ensurig social protection and security. Para alcance dos resultados desta pesquisa, foram observados os aspectos internos e externos de uma organização social e análise das perspectivas de remoção de restrições a essas liberdades, a partir de uma experiência de Planejamento Estratégico conduzido junto ao grupo de mulheres Erva Vida, em Marapanim (PA). O grupo foi selecionado a partir de uma ação de economia solidária, desenvolvida pelo laboratório de Etnofarmácia, do Núcleo de Meio Ambiente da UFPA com uma associação de mulheres do bairro Sossego, no distrito de Marudá, em Marapanim (PA) envolvidas na produção de remédios artesanais. Considerando os resultados desta pesquisa, os produtos diretos constituem-se no documento de planejamento estratégico do grupo e num manual de orientação para facilitadores de planejamento local. Esses produtos podem contribuir indiretamente para o aperfeiçoamento das políticas públicas de desenvolvimento sustentável local na região amazônica, contribuindo, em linhas gerais, diretamente nas ferramentas para formulação de propostas para gestão de recursos naturais.
