Fifteen years of rural territorial development in Latin America: what has the experience shown us?
The publication, edited by the doctor in Social Sciences, Julio Berdegué; the social anthropologist Constanza Christian; and the PhD in Environmental Sciences, Arilson Favareto; gathers the contribution of the Rural Territorial Development (RTD) approach – proposed in 2004 by Berdegué and Alexander Schejtman, which contemplates dynamics of productive transformation and institutional development – in the research and applied advocacy agenda of the last fifteen years in Latin America.
Perspectives for Latin American rural development. A Tribute to Alexander Schejtman
This book integrates ten papers presented at the seminar ‘Perspectives for Latin American Rural Development’, with which Rimisp – Latin American Centre for Rural Development – wanted to pay a heartfelt tribute to Alexander Schejtman, its first emeritus researcher. The papers, by Latin American academics, reviewed Alexander’s trajectory on key issues of rural development, such as the peasant economy, food security and territorial development.
Territories in Dialogue: Inclusion and Rural Wellbeing
Starting in 2019, and with the support of IDRC and the Ford Foundation, Rimisp is implementing the Territorios en Diálogo project, which seeks to improve the wellbeing of territories excluded from the development process through innovations in both conceptual and practical approaches to development dynamics in contexts of socio-territorial conflict, with a particular focus on youth.
Masculinities on the move
The main objectives of this book are, on the one hand, to develop a theoretical and methodological perspective different from those predominant in rural studies and gender studies, and, on the other hand, to reveal as yet unknown aspects of the changes underway.
