Com o advento do neoliberalismo no campo do desenvolvimento na década de 1990, o papel da sociedade civil e, em particular, o de Organizações Não-Governamentais, passou a ser enfatizado como sendo central nas estratégias ocidentais no 'Sul' do mundo. Os atores do desenvolvimento, no entanto, muitas vezes abordaram essas questões utilizando perspectivas tradicionais, que estavam geralmente fora de contexto. A tese foca na controvérsia em torno do uso de técnicas de gestão em cenários que diferem daqueles nos quais estas ferramentas têm sido desenvolvidas. Em particular, ela procura compreender em que medida o gerencialismo - a ideologia da gestão - está a influenciando as atividades de uma Organização Não-Governamental brasileira, a Galpão Aplauso. O estudo, usando uma estrutura teórica, analisa o relacionamento entre a ONG e seus parceiros, sublinhando os resultados de conflitos ideológicos. No geral, descobriu-se como o encontro das perspectivas do Norte e do Sul originou alguns debates que levaram, em parte, à aceitação de ideias gerencialistas, tais como a replicabilidade e sistematização de processos, enquanto que em alguns casos, eles intensificaram a resistência da ONG sobre conceitos como sustentabilidade financeira e transformação em um negócio social. / In the last decades, the Base of the Pyramid has been increasingly debated within western leaders as the new land of opportunity. With the advent of neoliberalism in the field of development during the 1990s, the role of Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organizations in particular started to be emphasized as being central in western strategies in the 'South' of the world. Development actors however often approached these issues using traditional perspectives, which were usually out of context. The thesis focuses on the controversy surrounding the use of managerial techniques in backgrounds that differ from those in which these tools have been developed. In particular, it seeks to understand to what extent managerialism – the ideology of management – is influencing the activities of a Brazilian Non-Governmental Organization, Galpão Aplauso. The study, using a theoretical framework, analyzes the relationship between the NGO and its partners, underlining the results of ideological conflicts. Overall, it has been found how the encounter of Northern and Southern perspectives originated some debates that led in part to the acceptance of managerialistic ideas such as replicability and systematization of processes, while in some cases they escalated to resistance from the NGO towards concepts such as financial sustainability and transformation into a social business.
