O rural nas inovações democráticas: uma proposta comparativa América Latina-Europa
Palavras-chave:
inovações democráticas, rural, participação cidadã, América Latina, EuropaResumo
Este artigo compara inovações democráticas (IDs) em áreas rurais da Europa e da América Latina, destacando diferenças em abordagens e motivações. Na Europa, as IDs se concentram no desenvolvimento rural, nas políticas ambientais e nas melhorias económicas locais, com foco no fortalecimento institucional e na sustentabilidade, sem desafiar o modelo político existente. Em contraste, na América Latina, o rural é um espaço de lutas emancipatórias, como a defesa de direitos indígenas e a soberania alimentar, sendo um campo de batalha por autonomia e justiça social. O artigo argumenta que, enquanto na Europa as IDs aprimoram políticas públicas, na América Latina elas desafiam noções estabelecidas de desenvolvimento e direitos, variando significativamente entre contextos sociopolíticos.
