To achieve these objectives the movement is active on three fronts: a) the creation of markets in the North where consumers pay a differentiated price for products from the South; b) campaigns among consumers in the North to increase the market for these products; and c) lobbying activities to change the rules of world trade, which are considered prejudicial to Southern countries. Demand limitations in the North, the demonstration effect of the movement s proposals in the South, and the need to adapt to local conditions, have stimulated Fair Trade initiatives in the South. In this sense, alternative production and consumption systems directed at national and South-South markets, have been discussed and implemented in various Latin American countries, based on the principles of Fair Trade. In Brazil, North-South Fair Trade initiatives have occurred since the 80s, although a national-wide movement only began in the middle of 2001, on the initiative of a group of public and private actors who made up the Faces do Brasil platform. From 2004-6 other actors participated in the movement, defending proposals linked to the creation of a just national market or to the defense of the interests of producers who were already active in North-South Fair Trade. This thesis is dedicated to the study of this movement, from a Southern perspective aiming to analyze to what extent the Brazilian proposal is distinguished from other Southern initiatives and the proposals of the global movement. To achieve these objectives a specific analytical framework was elaborated, involving theoretical approaches to social movements, convention theory and social network analysis. Empirically, the adoption of qualitative, participatory analysis associated with quantitative methods was essential for understanding the Brazilian movement, contextualizing it within the broader horizon of the complex features of the contemporary world. Among the principal results, the specificity of the Brazilian proposals were seen to depend on the participatory character of the construction of a national system of Fair and Solidarity Trade, involving a variety of actors and movements. This resulted in the incorporation of the principles of the Solidarity Economy and Agroecology movements, participatory certification schemes and the exclusive orientation to small farmers as the beneficiaries of the movement. The public-private character of the movement was crystallized in the creation of a specific space within the governmental sphere for the discussion of proposals and the formulation of public policies oriented to the movement aimed at creating a Brazilian System of Fair and Solidarity Trade. In relation to the producers, a low level of communication and transparency on the part of Northern actors was observed, which has reduced the extent of positive influences of North-South Fair Trade among the organizations visited in the eight case studies undertaken. As for convergences between the Brazilian movement s proposals and the aspirations of the producer groups, only the platforms more directly linked to the world of production incorporated their demands. / O movimento do Com?rcio Justo surgiu da iniciativa de organiza??es e consumidores do Hemisf?rio Norte visando ? melhoria das condi??es de vida de produtores e trabalhadores em desvantagem nos pa?ses do Sul. Para atingir esse objetivo o movimento vem atuando em tr?s frentes: a) na cria??o de mercados no Norte onde consumidores pagam um pre?o diferenciado por produtos do Sul; b) campanhas junto aos consumidores para elevar a parcela de mercado para esses produtos; e c) atrav?s de lobying visando mudan?a das regras do com?rcio internacional, considerado desvantajoso para os pa?ses do Sul. As limita??es da demanda no Norte, o efeito demonstra??o do movimento, e a necessidade de adapta??o aos contextos locais, t?m estimulado o desenvolvimento propostas s de Com?rcio Justo em pa?ses do Sul. No Brasil, iniciativas de Com?rcio Justo Norte-Sul t?m ocorrido desde os anos 80, entretanto, um movimento de abrang?ncia nacional s? foi iniciado em meados de 2001, por iniciativa de um grupo de atores p?blicos e privados, que compuseram a plataforma do Faces do Brasil. No per?odo 2004 a 2006, outros atores participaram do movimento, defendendo propostas ligadas ? cria??o de um mercado justo nacional e ? defesa dos interesses dos produtores que j? atuam no Com?rcio Justo Norte-Sul. Essa tese voltou-se para o estudo desse movimento, mas sob uma perspectiva do Sul, buscando analisar em que medida a proposta brasileira se distingue de outras iniciativas do Sul e das propostas do movimento global. Para atingir esse objetivo, um referencial anal?tico espec?fico foi adotado, envolvendo as abordagens te?ricas dos movimentos sociais, a teoria das conven??es e a an?lise de redes sociais. No campo emp?rico, a an?lise qualitativa associada a m?todos quantitativos foi essencial para a compreens?o do movimento brasileiro a partir do seu enquadramento num horizonte mais amplo de complexidade do mundo contempor?neo. Dentre os principais resultados, verificou-se que a especificidade da proposta brasileira se deve ao seu car?ter participativo na constru??o de um sistema nacional de Com?rcio Justo e Solid?rio, envolvendo atores p?blicos e privados e ? negocia??o com movimentos sociais convergentes. Isso teve como resultante a incorpora??o de princ?pios da Economia Solid?ria, da agroecologia, sistemas mais participativos de garantia e a op??o por produtores familiares como p?blico-alvo do movimento. O car?ter p?blico-privado do movimento brasileiro foi cristalizado na cria??o de um espa?o pr?prio na esfera governamental para a discuss?o das propostas e a defini??o de pol?ticas p?blicas voltadas para a implanta??o de um Sistema Brasileiro de Com?rcio Justo e Solid?rio. No ?mbito dos produtores que j? atuam no Com?rcio Justo Norte-Sul, verificou-se que h? um baixo grau de comunica??o e transpar?ncia por parte dos atores do Norte, o que tem reduzido o alcance dos objetivos do movimento junto a esses atores. Em termos da converg?ncia das propostas do movimento brasileiro com as aspira??es dos produtores, verificou-se que as plataformas mais diretamente ligadas ao mundo da produ??o s?o as que incorporam as principais necessidades desses atores.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Thiago Prediger - Exploring Attitudes and Behavioral Intention of Brazilian consumers towards Fair Trade and Fair Trade products.pdf: 1053923 bytes, checksum: aa7aeb5347c8b1046a0294506593cce5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015 / Global sales of FT products have been growing consistently in the last years. According to the FLO, they jumped from less than €1 billion in 2004 to around €5,5 billion in 2013. Although the movement is still beginning in Brazil, some efforts aiming the institutionalization of FT are already being done. For instance, Schneider (2012) shows that there is a potential market for the FT products in Brazil, however the it is still not well developed. Therefore, there is a need to better understand the variables affecting purchase intention of these product. Past studies have identified factors that are considered predictors of Intention to Buy FT products. Considering these factors, this study aims to determine the variables that are most related to the consumers’ intention to buy and willingness to pay for FT products in Brazil. Based on the answers of 124 respondents, results show that intention to buy FT products in Brazil is linked to the consumers’ ethical consumption attitudes, product interest and quality, low skepticism and positive interest regarding the FT concept. The results also showed two antagonistic clusters of consumers regarding their attitudes. The group 'Activists' have positive attitudes, high intention to buy and willingness to pay. On the other hand, the 'Unbelievers' have negative attitudes, low intention to buy and are not willing to pay more. Based on the results of this study, organizations and individuals who aim to foster the FT market in Brazil can better understand the consumer and take more assertive marketing decisions, considering the relevance of factors affecting Intention to Buy, and differences between consumers. / As vendas globais de produtos FT cresceram de forma consistente nos últimos anos. De acordo com a FLO, as vendas cresceram de menos de € 1 bilhão em 2004 para cerca de € 5,5 bilhões em 2013. Apesar do movimento ainda estar engatinhando no Brasil, alguns esforços visando a institucionalização da FT estão sendo tomados. Por exemplo, o Schneider (2012) mostrou que existe um mercado potencial para os produtos FT no Brasil. Entretanto, ele ainda não é bem desenvolvido. Portanto, há uma necessidade de compreender melhor as variáveis que afetam a intenção de compra destes produtos. Estudos anteriores identificaram fatores que são considerados previsores de intenção de comprar produtos FT. Considerando esses fatores, o presente estudo tem como objetivo determinar as variáveis que estão mais relacionadas com a intenção de compra e disposição para pagar por produtos FT no Brasil. Com base nas respostas de 124 entrevistados, os resultados mostram que a intenção de compra de produtos FT no Brasil está ligada a atitudes de consumo éticas dos consumidores, o interesse e qualidade dos produtos, baixo ceticismo e percepção de relevância acerca do conceito FT. Os resultados também mostraram dois grupos antagônicos de consumidores a respeito de suas atitudes. O grupo dos 'ativistas' tem atitudes positivas, de alta intenção de compra e disposição a pagar mais. Por outro lado, os 'incrédulos' têm atitudes negativas, baixa intenção de compra e não estão dispostos a pagar mais. Com base nos resultados deste estudo, organizações e indivíduos que visam fomentar o mercado FT no Brasil podem entender melhor o consumidor e tomar decisões de marketing mais assertivas, considerando a relevância dos fatores que afetam a intenção de comprar, como também as diferenças entre os consumidores.
