RESUMO

This thesis relates theoretical considerations and empirical studies on the strategic behavior of actors in the counties of Crissiumal and Santo Antonio da Patrulha, Southern Brazil. In a context conditioned by globalization, we discuss developmental dynamics and regional integration, elements showing relevant for public policies through their interaction and empowerment. We do not intend to analyze the rural productive units internally, but a more aggregated analysis of the consequences of their internal relationships, how they affect the decision making process and the effects on their evolution and structure. We search for agents that determine the main variables of the agricultural dynamics, focusing on both micro and macro elements. The theoretical background uses different approaches, inserting itself in what is known as a methodology of critical political economy. We combined three investigation techniques: Exploratory research in order to clarify, modify and develop concepts and ideas, which comprised bibliographic research, documental search, interviews and case study; The historical background which emphasizes the relationship between agricultural evolution and the family farming role in the development process, through the interviews we intended to consolidate the documental analysis; The focus of the research consisted in discussing the political, economic and social factors in the origin of the modern political agriculture, as well as the initiatives to consolidate a model based on family farming. We present a comparative analysis of the agricultural policy in different countries. We focus on globalization and characterization of the development process and the role of agriculture in its evolution and transformation. We focus on the analytical perspective of the territory, considering the rural world complexity. Also, the evolution of agricultural policies in European and Latin American countries, as well as factors that may enhance the process of rural development. Empirically, different strategies of the family farming in search of new markets for their products were analyzed. We found out that they use a specific social administration, strategic positioning and cooperative organization to assess the market. Rules and institutions characterized by cooperation, association, participative governance and a relative authonomy contribute for the implantation of a diversified productive system of family agroindustries. The social construction of the market results from social variables linked to the cultural and political dynamics, the environment of collaboration and the capacity to introduce a model of local development based on shared experiences and social relations of confidence.
