As “linhas vermelhas” para o desenvolvimento rural: a internacionalização da agenda da agricultura familiar brasileira e seus impactos na governança global

Abstract

For this work, it was analyzed the process of internationalization of the Brazilian Family Farming (FF) agenda. At a first moment, it was analyzed the context, the conjuncture and the historical panorama for the FF domestic conformation. Once the specificities of the sector were identified, it was analyzed which ideational groups - forums of ideas - existed around the rural theme within Brazilian foreign policy. Given the domestic scenario, three case studies were developed to understand the internationalization of this agenda according to each specific environment: the Mercosur, with its regional agenda; the WTO, with itstrade agenda; and FAO, with its sectoral agenda. For each international arena, it was analyzed: the concept of development conceived by the space, the main operative disputes and how the Brazilian actors organize themselves during decision-making processes. Once the characteristics of each arena were underlined, we observed the possibilities and potentials for modifying the institutional

design. With these changes, the research was able to discuss the capacity for the use of meta- power by emerging countries, plus, the transformation capacity of the architecture of global

governance for rural development.
