“…There may have been a discourse of sorts but, they argue, it has been highly uneven. They also argue that Intentional development has patently failed to deliver (Rahnema and Bawtree, 1997;Pieterse, 1998;Hart, 2001), with Africa often cited by post-developmentalists as the classic example of failure (Mathews, 2004).…”

The past 15 years have witnessed the rise of post-development theory as a means of understanding the development discourse since the 1940s. Post-development argues that Intentional development (as distinct from Immanent development -what people are doing anyway), is a construct of Western hegemony. Sustainable development, they argue, is no different and indeed is perhaps worse given that most of the global environmental degradation has been driven by consumerism and industrialisation in the West. Critics of post-development counter by stating that it only provides destruction by tearing apart what is currently practiced in 'development' without providing an alternative. When post-developmentalists do offer an alternative it typically amouints to little more than a call for more grassroots involvement in development and disengagement from a Western agenda. Post-sustainable development analysis and counter-analysis has received remarkably little attention within the sustainable development literature, yet this paper argues that it can make a positive contributrion by calling for an analysis of discourse rather than a hiding of power differentials and an assumption that consensus must exist within a community.A case is made for a post-sustainable development which acknolwedges that diversity will exist and consensus may not be achievable, but at the same time participation can help with learning. The role of the expert within sustainable development is also discussed.

“…In the 1960s, the rise of community power and social justice movements challenged established development practices (Harding, 1996(Harding, , 2009Magill & Clark, 1975). It has also arisen from practices incorporated from the "developing" world, where the community scale is central due to the underdevelopment of state institutions (Pieterse, 1998;Stiglitz, 2002). It has been borne along with critique of technocratic and top-down forms of public administration-critiques that have been bolstered by increasing demands for more democratic and place-based policy making (Bradford, 2005).…”

Neoendogenous approaches to community economic development have risen to prominence in recent years. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has described such approaches as nothing less than "the new rural paradigm." But is this paradigm reflected in practice? This research examines the community economic development landscape-from the perspectives of federal and provincial funders to that of community-based groups-through two Atlantic Canadian case studies (Marystown, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Montague, Prince Edward Island). Governmental funders are found to prioritize economic and business development objectives above social, cultural, and community-oriented ones. These preferences shape the types of projects that are funded and the community groups that propel them, undermining the adoption of truly neoendogenous, community-driven practices. RÉSUMÉDans les dernières années, les approches néo-endogènes envers le développement économique communautaire ont cru en importance. L'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OECD) a décrit ces approches comme entraînant ni plus ni moins qu'un « nouveau paradigme rural ». Mais la pratique reflète-t-elle ce paradigme? Cette étude examine le contexte pour le développement communautaire économique-du point de vue des subventionneurs fédéraux et provinciaux et de celui des groupes communautaires-au moyen de deux études de cas menées dans deux villes des provinces de l'Atlantique (c'est-à-dire Marystown, Terre-Neuve et Labrador, et Montague, Île-du-Prince-Édouard). Il se trouve que les subventionneurs gouvernementaux donnent la priorité aux objectifs de développement économique et commercial aux dépens des objectifs sociaux, culturels et communautaires. Cette priorité a un impact sur les types de projets subventionnés et sur les groupes communautaires qui les appuient, entravant ainsi l'adoption de pratiques véritablement néo-endogènes dans les communautés.

“…Em comum, essas novas narrativas sobre o desenvolvimento buscavam argumentar sobre sua multidimensionalidade (Pieterse, 1998). Para resumir, podemos afirmar que as mudanças conceituais focaram três dimensões principais: ambiental, social e política.…”

Novas referências conceituais sobre o "rural" passaram gradativamente a ser incorporadas, ainda que de modo parcial e contraditório, pelas políticas públicas. Considerando esse pressuposto, investiga-se neste trabalho de que forma as políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural, no Brasil, nas últimas décadas, respondem, em termos de sua formulação, a determinadas inovações conceituais. Para sustentar esse argumento, investigam-se, à luz de um denso estudo bibliográfico sobre desenvolvimento, ruralidade e políticas públicas, as mudanças históricas, conceituais e práticas do desenvolvimento rural. Com a pesquisa foi possível não só identificar as "novas" referências do desenvolvimento rural e da operacionalização das políticas públicas, mas também as mudanças institucionais nesse processo. As considerações finais mostram que as mudanças nas concepções teóricas sobre o rural e o desenvolvimento rural foram substancialmente importantes para promover uma mudança de perspectiva na ação do Estado.Pa l av r a s -c h av e : políticas públicas; desenvolvimento rural; inovação institucional.
