SUMMARY:


The land issue in Brazil is considered a historical problem due to the concentration of land in the country in the hands of a restricted group of actors - State, Church, people or companies. Since the mid-20th century, agrarian reform models have become objects of dispute over access to land. As a result, laws, norms and resolutions articulate programs and policies that aim to promote agrarian reform in the country. Since the 1990s, two programs have made up Brazilian agrarian policy: conventional agrarian reform, via the expropriation of unproductive land carried out by INCRA, and Market-Assisted Agrarian Reform, which finances land for landless farmers or those with little land, from also the responsibility of the federal government and carried out at the time by the Ministry of Agrarian Development. The model of access to land through Market Assisted Agrarian Reform (RAAM) was designed by the World Bank and established in Brazil in 1997, with the institutional discourse of reducing conflicts and rural poverty, in a political and ideological context of global references of new ideas that influenced the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government to think of alternatives to traditional public policy models that were expensive for the State. This policy is characterized by financing for the purchase and sale of land on a voluntary basis between private agents, without expropriation occurring, that is, it is a logic influenced by the capitalist market for development processes, especially in countries in the so-called Third World. . The object of study of this thesis is the process of diffusion of the Market Assisted Agrarian Reform policy in the northeastern states. The aim is to understand this process through the theoretical framework of the diffusion of public policies with a focus on addressing policy diffusion mechanisms, highlighting which elements contributed to the adoption of this model in Brazil and its diffusion in the Northeast region. Therefore, the research has the general objective of analyzing the process of diffusion of the Market Agrarian Reform policy in subnational governments in the Northeast Region. The question that guides this research is: how did subnational governments in the Northeast implement the market-based agrarian reform model? In other words, what were the mechanisms used in the process of disseminating the Market Agrarian Reform model in subnational governments in the Northeast? To achieve the objectives, semi-structured interviews were carried out with researchers on the subject, managers of the current land financing program, Terra Brasil, in the northeastern states, and actors linked to the various social movements fighting for land (Comissão Pastoral da Terra - CPT, Confederation of Agricultural Workers - CONTAG, Landless Rural Workers Movement - MST). A documentary analysis was also carried out of the bulletins released by the Indicator Panel of the former Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA) to characterize the programs that operationalized this model of access to land in Brazil and World Bank documents relating to the policy. As main results, the research identified the mechanisms of learning, emulation and coercion in the dissemination of RAAM, and found that the model was adopted as a pilot project implemented by the Government of the state of Ceará in 1996, within the scope of the Program to Combat Rural Poverty (PCPR) São José with the insertion of a land component called Solidarity Agrarian Reform; It began to spread throughout the Brazilian Northeast as it concentrates the largest amount of poverty in the country and presents a favorable environment for adoption, given that Projects to Combat Rural Poverty were being implemented in the Northeastern states, using the physical, institutional, personnel of this policy.; From 1997 onwards, the Brazilian Government entered into a technical and financial cooperation agreement with the World Bank, in a context of a neoliberal global reference, Fernando Henrique Cardoso's political project to combat rural poverty and inserted agrarian reform into the agenda of the Community Program Solidarity (PCS), spreading Market Agrarian Reform to the states of Bahia, Maranhão, Pernambuco and expanding land financing in Ceará, operationalized through the Cédula da Terra Program (PCT). In 1998, within a debate on the New Rural World proposal, the Land Revolving Fund, called Banco da Terra, was created, inserting the states of Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Alagoas, Sergipe and Piauí into the RAAM. The implementation of this model was the result of the political articulation of managers of subnational governments, whose actions were preponderant in implementing the model together with the central government and counting on financial support, technical and intellectual assistance from the World Bank
