Desenvolvimento Local Integrado e Sustentável DLIS: um olhar sob a perspectiva dos agentes implementadores

Abstract

The Local Development Integrated and Sustainable - DLIS represented in the 1990s in Brazil, a strategic investment in the design and operation of public policies to combat poverty and social exclusion, sought to promote involvement and participation of civil society, building partnerships, establishing a vision of development more inclusive and integrated, surveillance and social control in the process of setting priorities in allocation of public resources in order to initiate a nationwide process of development more sustainable. This study focused on the theoretical debate, historical facts and conceptual categories relevant to understanding the new meaning that space takes place before an international context of economic globalization of capital and strong influence of neoliberalism in the planning of public policies of the Brazilian state. We attempted to ascertain the perceptions of implementing agents (governmental and non governmental organizations) the methodological strategy concerned about the efficiency of the process of community organization through the political role of civil society in local space. This was an analytical research of a qualitative approach, carried out through field study. As procedures, cite the literature, analysis of official documents, specific legislation. As a tool for data collection was used semi-structured interviews, participant observation and oral history. The interviews were conducted between November 2005 and January 2006, together with research subjects in the municipalities of Pedro Régis (forest area) and Nova Olinda (interior). The sample (n = 14) was intentional because it encompassed only professionals who have direct or indirect link with the municipalities that joined the expansion of the Active Community Program, the state of Paraíba. It was concluded that there was a dissociation between the principles and objectives of the strategy of the DLIS government with the intention of effecting an articulated process and sustainable development, which is useful in principle the rationalization of public resources and strengthening of visions of hegemonic power which showed a fragmented conception of development.
