Colombia's resurrection: alternative development is the key to Democratic Security

Fleming, Adam Lum 09 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution unlimited / This thesis examines the role of alternative development in the Colombian and U.S. governments' counter drug strategies. Both governments include alternative development as a part of their policies, but provide limited funding to the programs when compared to the funding for forced eradication and security measures. Existing policies have produced reductions in drug cultivation in many areas and the Colombian government has made gains in security throughout the country, particularly the remote rural regions. These gains make conditions in Colombia suitable for large-scale alternative development supported by increased funding. Both governments are addressing components of successful alternative development programs, but funding disparities are hindering the effectiveness of the programs. While the international and European communities are staunch supporters of alternative development, the funding provided by them has been limited in scope because of disagreement with the U.S.-backed eradication policies. The U.S. and Colombian governments in conjunction with the international community must focus more on alternative development in order to consolidate the recent gains in democratic security. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

Estrutura e expansão da agroindústria canaveira no Sudoeste Goiano = impactos no uso do solo e na estrutura fundiária a partir de 1990 / The structure and expansion of the sugarcane industry in the Southeast Goias : impacts on the use of soil and the agrarian structure from 1990 onwards

A hipótese que norteou o trabalho foi de que a expansão da agroindústria em Goiás se caracteriza pela alta competição de terra, favorecendo o arrendamento de grandes áreas para a cultura da cana-de-açúcar para a agroindústria canavieira. Este movimento demonstra que a expansão desta agroindústria em Goiás se dá dentro dos mesmos moldes das demais regiões tradicionais neste cultivo, ou seja, com movimentos de concentração fundiária e exclusão de culturas. A metodologia utilizada para a investigação foi uma revisão bibliográfica dos principais textos sobre as características da expansão deste setor nas regiões brasileiras. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada em entidades do setor sucralcooleiro, do setor agrícola goiano e nas associações de fornecedores da região delimitada para a pesquisa. Foi conduzido, ainda, o estudo de caso de quatro agroindústrias canavieiras, classificadas em dois grupos formados pelas firmas mais antigas e o outro grupo formado por agroindústrias entrantes no Estado de Goiás. Os resultados apontaram para uma concentração fundiária em Goiás, principalmente na região do Sudoeste de Goiás, nas culturas de soja e de cana-de-açúcar e a exclusão de culturas como arroz, feijão e, mais recentemente, o milho. Ressalta-se que a cultura da soja tem sido substituída na região do Sudoeste de Goiás, em determinados municípios, pela cultura da cana-de-açúcar. Outra conclusão é que a expansão das agroindústrias canavieiras em Goiás herdou o mesmo modelo das regiões tradicionais, com a expansão alicerçada no controle da matéria-prima, seja via arrendamento ou compra da terra. Neste contexto, as instituições representativas de produtores agrícolas de Goiás e das associações de fornecedores de cana-de-açúcar buscam a construção de um novo modelo com a participação dos produtores rurais. As pesquisas apontaram que as percepções das instituições representativas indicam a existência de dois modelos: um mais antigo, classificado como predador, caracterizado pela concentração fundiária, comandado pela agroindústria canavieira e um novo modelo, alicerçado na figura do fornecedor, por isso, gerador de maiores efeitos multiplicadores em comparação ao modelo antigo. Conclui-se que deve haver aprofundamento da pesquisa sobre os efeitos da expansão deste setor em Goiás e adoção de análises setoriais para o entendimento da dinâmica e das estratégias que as empresas têm optado em um ambiente altamente competitivo / Abstract: The primary goal of this thesis is to characterize the expansion of the sugar industry and its operations in southwestern Goiás, describing its impact on soil use and on certain crops, specifically: rice, cotton, sugar cane, beans, corn, soybeans and sorghum. The hypothesis of this study postulates that the expansion of agribusiness in Goiás is characterized by high competition for land, favoring the leasing of large plots of land for the cultivation of sugar cane for the sugar industry. This shows that the expansion of agribusiness in Goiás occurs in the same manner as in other traditional regions of cultivation, which is to say it occurs in the form of land concentration and the exclusion of certain crops. The methodology used in this study consisted of a review of relevant publications regarding the expansion of this industry in Brazil. Field work was conducted in both entities involved in sugar and ethanol production and those in the agricultural sector in Goiás, as well as in supplier associations within the defined region. A further case study was conducted analyzing four sugarcane industries which were classified into two groups made up of the oldest companies in the region and agribusiness entrants in Goiás. The results showed evidence of land concentration, mainly in parts of southwestern Goiás involved in soybean and sugar cane production, and the exclusion of crops like rice, beans and more recently corn. It is important to note that, in certain cities in the southwestern region of Goiás, soybean production has been replaced by the production of sugar cane. Another conclusion reached by this study is that the expansion of the sugar industry in Goiás adopted the same model as that of the traditional regions, with the expansion dictated by the control of raw materials, whether through lease or purchase of land. Within this context, institutions representing the agricultural producers of Goiás and associations of sugar cane suppliers are attempting to construct a new model with the participation of rural producers. The research shows that such attempts reflect the presence of two models: an older model, classified as a predator model, characterized by land concentration controlled by the sugar industry, and a new model based on the supplier, which generates higher multiplier effects compared to the old model. The study concludes by stating the need for further research on the effects of the expansion of this industry in Goiás and for the adoption of analyses to better understand company operations and strategies that companies have chosen in a highly competitive environment / Doutorado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico
