Full textEste trabalho analisa as recentes estratégias da ação sindical rural em Alagoas notadamente a partir da Federação dos Trabalhadores da Agricultura de Alagoas – FETAG-AL – no período que compreende as duas últimas gestões (2006-2013). A pesquisa foi produzida através de bibliografia especializada, documentos da própria federação, convenções coletivas dos trabalhadores rurais, periódicos, jornais impressos, revistas temáticas e entrevistas extraídas de sites especializados do assunto. A partir disso, demonstramos a emergência e estrutura do sindicalismo rural no Brasil bem como em Alagoas justificando suas práticas sindicais no decorrer das décadas. Apresentamos como os diversos programas governamentais de incentivo ao setor sucroalcooleiro, como o Proálcool, influenciaram nas práticas sindicais. Concomitantemente relatamos o desmonte dessa estrutura estatal e se por um lado, as usinas e destilarias tiveram que se remodelar diante da reestruturação produtiva, por outro lado, a ação sindical sofria um recuo em sua representação aos assalariados rurais ante a política neoliberal e a flexibilização das leis trabalhistas. A consolidação das novas perspectivas produtivas bem como a nova morfologia no trabalho no início do século XXI, nos leva a perceber que a ação sindical no Estado de Alagoas tem sofrido considerável mudança estrutural. A FETAG-AL tem se voltado para novas demandas que surgem e reclamam por representação como a agricultura familiar, habitação rural e categorias em ascensão como jovens, mulheres e terceira idade. A Federação tem organizado cursos, seminários, conferências e mobilizações públicas como forma de efetivar sua ação sindical.

The study aimed to analyze the process of nucleamento and closing of rural schools in the region of São João da Boa Vista, using as base municipalities: Casa Branca, Divinolândia and Sao Jose do Rio Pardo. This process was the transformation of schools into centers-schools or nucleation in order to become recipients of the students of extinct rural schools (multigrade isolated and / unidocentes) and may be located in rural or urban areas. Taking into consideration the historical context, political, socioeconomic and educational, emphasizing above all the transformations in agriculture in the State of São Paulo, which resulted in the expropriation of thousands of rural workers because of agricultural mechanization driven by the expansion of sugarcane sectors and citrus, sought to discuss and understand: the service that or those rural schools were nucleated? How did and what the cause of nucleamento and consequent closure of rural schools? Thus, the study has two categories considered inseparable: the capitalist mode of production and the education of the rural population. The analysis of the first category was made from the study of Marxist theoretical framework, through data collected in the field research (interviews and questionnaires) and by searching statistical data sites on the economy, agriculture, labor and demographics. But the study on the education of the rural population was given by historical rescue about nucleamento of rural schools and on the education of the rural population from the 1960s, involving the educational laws that regulate the process and the changes occurred in rural areas. Was also made a survey of existing rural schools from the 1970s and the condition of rural schools in the three cities listed in the study for that, in addition to the documentary research of extinct rural schools with the state arquivadoras schools, questionnaires were targeted for managers of municipal departments of Education White House, Divinolândia and São José do Rio Pardo, the active rural schools, as well as interviews with parents of students in rural schools. On the information collected and based on the theoretical study has improved to discussion of the process that resulted in the closure of 390 rural schools (1970-2014) which had as its backdrop the agricultural productive restructuring, considering then that the nucleamento and the consequent closure of rural schools served the capital and was far from serving the interests of rural workers.
O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o processo de nucleamento e fechamento das escolas rurais na região de São João da Boa Vista, utilizando-se como municípios-base: Casa Branca, Divinolândia e São José do Rio Pardo. Tal processo consistiu na transformação de escolas em escolas-núcleos ou nucleadoras com a finalidade de tornarem-se receptoras dos alunos de escolas rurais extintas (isoladas e multisseriadas/unidocentes), podendo ter localização em áreas rurais ou urbanas. Levando-se em consideração o contexto histórico, político, socioeconômico e educacional, enfatizando, sobretudo as transformações ocorridas na agricultura no Estado de São Paulo, que resultou na expropriação de milhares de trabalhadores rurais em virtude da mecanização agrícola impulsionada pela expansão dos setores sucroenergético e citrícola, buscou-se discutir e compreender: a serviço de que ou de quem as escolas rurais foram nucleadas? Como se deu e qual a causa do nucleamento e consequente fechamento das escolas rurais? Dessa forma, o estudo apresenta duas categorias consideradas indissociáveis: o modo de produção capitalista e a escolarização da população rural. A análise da primeira categoria foi feita a partir do estudo do referencial teórico marxista, por meio de dados coletados na pesquisa de campo (entrevistas e questionários) e por meio de busca em sites de dados estatísticos sobre a economia, agricultura, trabalho e demografia. Já o estudo sobre a escolarização da população rural deu-se mediante resgate histórico sobre o nucleamento das escolas rurais, bem como, sobre a escolarização da população rural a partir da década de 1960, envolvendo as legislações educacionais que regulamentaram o processo, bem como as transformações ocorridas no meio rural. Foi feito também, um levantamento das escolas rurais existentes a partir da década de 1970 e a condição das escolas rurais nos três municípios elencados para o estudo, para isso, além das pesquisas documentais das escolas rurais extintas junto às escolas estaduais arquivadoras, foram direcionados questionários para os gestores das Secretarias Municipais de Educação de Casa Branca, Divinolândia e São José do Rio Pardo, das escolas rurais ativas, além de entrevistas com pais de alunos das escolas rurais. Diante das informações coletadas e com base no referencial teórico estudado aprimorou-se a discussão sobre o processo que resultou no fechamento de 390 escolas rurais (1970 a 2014) o qual teve como pano de fundo a restruturação produtiva agrícola, considerando-se então, que o nucleamento e o consequente fechamento das escolas rurais serviram ao capital e esteve distante de servir aos interesses dos trabalhadores rurais.

Full textBackground: The digitalization of the retail industry has contributed to a restructuring, where competition for physical stores has become increasingly fierce. The breaking point for the growth of the fashion industry has shifted from the physical store to e-commerce and the fast-growing e-commerce is showing no signs of abating, but rather the opposite. There is a constant pressure on prices, both online and in physical stores, which means that it is usually the weakest stores (mainly smaller physical stores) which are the first affected because of the difficulties in adapting. The study thus shows how the physical stores create competitiveness to remain in the market. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of how physical small stores in the fashion industry creates competitiveness, and how e-commerce affects competition for these. Research questions: -How do the physical small stores (within the fashion industry) create competitiveness based on marketing strategies and pricing strategies? How does it differ between the rural area and the city area? -How do marketing strategies and pricing strategies differ from existing small physical stores in the fashion industry in comparison to closed stores? -How should the physical small fashion stores handle the challenges of long-term survival? Conclusion: The study results in all case companies creating competitiveness by offering their customers a high personal service where the customer is always in focus and comes first. The high personal service is an even more important competitive strategy if the store is located in a rural area. In the long run, small physical fashion stores will need to adapt to the structural transformation and offer customers a more seamless design in order to compete with e-commerce. At present, e-commerce has a major advantage in both price and scope, and a restructuring would mean that physical stores and e-commerce compete on similar terms and thus avoid today’s competitive asymmetry.

Full textA reestruturação produtiva se apresenta como mecanismo de saída do capital para os seus momentos de crise. O Processo de acumulação do capital que avança destrutivamente procura espaços onde a sua reprodução possa ser realizada sempre em escala crescente, entretanto, as tentativas de respostas apresentadas pelo capital nos momentos de agudização das crises que se apresentam na forma de reestruturações do processo de produção já não são mais possíveis de ser dadas, em função da própria natureza contraditória do sistema, que revela que o capitalismo só pode sair de suas crises anteriores acumulando contradições ainda mais profundas que tendiam, mais cedo ou mais tarde, a explodir com força cada vez maior. As crises sucessivas que se colocam como produção do seu processo contraditório de expansão, acaba acentuando os elementos destrutivos que surgem como produto desse movimento de vai e vem , e quanto mais se desenvolve a lógica de reprodução destrutiva, mais se acirram as contradições provenientes desse processo. O que se consegue acompanhar nesse universo perverso de exploração do trabalho é a reconfiguração do mundo do trabalho em moldes de extração da mais valia jamais visto, se recorrendo inclusive a mecanismos violentos de extração de mais valia, esse processo excludente e por vezes violento de exploração do sobre trabalho repercute para a classe trabalhadora na forma de exploração do trabalho infantil, trabalho escravo, jornada de trabalho excessiva, baixos salários e exclusão dos jovens e idosos do processo produtivo. Esses elementos presentes no processo de estabelecimento da reestruturação produtiva podem ser claramente observados no território do Agreste Central Sergipano, onde diante do avanço do eixo industrial calçadista tem-se acompanhado o assalariamento dos trabalhadores desse território que tem as suas condições de vida aviltadas pelas relações de trabalho precarizado existentes, que na maioria das vezes são encobertas pela mão do Estado , que funciona como instrumento do capital suprimido todos os seus direitos trabalhistas historicamente conquistados.

Full textThe research, developed within the line Work, Society and Education of the Postgraduate Program of the Faculty of Education of UFU, had as objective to analyze the public education policies of the field in Brazil and, specifically in the state of Minas Gerais. For that, ProJovem Campo - Saberes da Terra, Saberes de Minas was adopted as object of study, in the 2008-2015 time cut. The investigation was based on the estimations of qualitative research in education. In reference to the objectives, this is an exploratory and descriptive research, and in relation to the data collection procedures, the thesis was developed through bibliographical and documentary research with search and analysis in primary sources - government documents and from international agencies - that compose the technical, legal and political framework of ProJovem Campo, as well as regulates and promotes public education in the country and in the state of Minas Gerais, regarding the design and execution of the program. It was based on the hypothesis that, despite representing advances in the increase of schooling, the program does not promote the autonomous, solidary and empowered insertion of the subjects in the world of work, through social and professional qualification, as proposed. The research allowed the deliberation on the importance of social movements in the construction process of the rural education proposal, developed in the context of the hegemonic mode of production, revealing contradictions and conflicts between State and society in the construction of the national public educational agenda. From the results obtained, it can be seen that the ProJovem Campo - Saberes da Terra, Saberes de Minas project is characterized as a government policy, acts partially and superficially on socio-educational issues and does not solve the structural limitations that lead to the origin of poverty and low levels of schooling of rural populations in the state of Minas Gerais, such as access to land and paid work opportunities. Even considering the current progress in rural education researches, the program is still approaching to rural education, mainly because of the unidirectional systematics of its design and implementation, which disregards the voices of those for whom it is intended, which characterizes the praxis of rural education introduced in Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century.

As the time passes, rural areas in Taiwan take a less significant role in the economy, and thus become peripheral in terms of economic development. To survive, the production style of Argo-food industry in rural areas has changed from productivism to post-productivism, which aim to provides extra services such as entertainment or commodity production to the society. As for official support, the central government has launched the policy “One Town, One Product”, encouraging the local government to promote rural development based on their own features. In this paper, Marsden’s economic perspectives of rural restructuring is adopted in order to discuss the transformation of argo-food industry within rural areas and the idea of ‘embeddedness’ is used to analyze the relation between argo-food industry and rural areas. In the case study, the tea industry and mesona industry in Guanxi Township was chosen as research cases and analyzed by qualitative methods to find out how local-featured agriculture affects rural development and restructuring in Taiwan. The conclusions of this research contains as follows: firstly, tea and mesona industry network demonstrate the post-productivist style of alternative agro-food network. Secondly, the tea industry no longer embedded upon Guanxi, which made the diversification of tea and mesona. Finally, tea and mesona are two major factors in argo-food industry network transformation in Guanxi.

Full textAn agricultural holding as a co-participant of the economic market, is located in a multifaceted regulation both on the basis of national and EU law. The classic view of production factors (labor, capital and land) classifies an agricultural holding as a kind of enterprise, which is covered by a separate and preferential legal regulation, due to its strategic character and role for each State and the society functioning in it. In the dissertation issues were raised related to legislative processes in the context of specific political and economic events, which reflected the entirety of concepts and models of agriculture adopted by State, as well as an attempt to the balance between interest of property rights with imposed administrative obligations. The main emphasis was put on family farms conducted by individual farmers, which is exemplifications of the accepted program norm, expressed in art. 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Characterizing the research methods adopted at work, mention should be made of the analysis based on the legal-dogmatic, historical, legal-comparative method with statistical elements and SWOT analysis. The first two of them allows to draw the most complete conclusions about the factors shaping the agricultural system in Poland. Two next shown a direct relation with the then agriculture and the economic-social-legal plane. The first chapter was devoted to issues related to the evolution of an agricultural institution and its legal regulations. It looked at the sources of concepts and definitions of a farm in constitutional, administrative and civilian terms. Also raised issues related to: agricultural policy, the legitimacy of protective regulations and statutory support for farms. The second chapter contains the characteristics and assessment of the correlation of agricultural law in relation to other areas of law. In the following, the author shows separateness of the social security system, taxes, the system of trade and protection of agricultural real estate, agricultural exemption and support and protection systems for natural resources in family farms. An extremely important matter of this chapter is also the current issue of the judicial execution of cash benefits from farm property. The third chapter refers to issues related to legal and economic regulations for supporting family farms, which focus on the impact of the CAP, EAFRD objectives, RDPs in the years 2014-2020 and other support systems for family rural households. The fourth chapter contains a comparative analysis of the system and legal solutions that provide support for family farms used in Poland and selected European Union countries. The research hypotheses put forward in the introduction were developed in the theses and substantiation contained in the conclusion. The considerations were based on the claim that the legislator surrounds the mode and functioning of farms holdings by increasing range of regulation, what determines the legal position of an agricultural holding in numerous normative acts. The legislator emphasizes the uniqueness of the agrarian sector by developing separate regulations and different approach and recognition of the farmers property sphere, as well as their public duties. The highly developed construction of regulatory instruments places agricultural holdings as an equal economic entity, with a privileged position in relation to stronger capital market players in free market economy. However, globalization factors have caused that many people still treat agriculture in a downplaying manner, probably resulting from a misunderstanding of the importance and specificity of this sector in relation to the global economic system.
