Resumo(s)
À luz do modelo económico vigente, entende-se uma profunda desigualdade, pobreza e carências sociais, onde prevalecem os interesses económicos em detrimento do valor do ser humano na sociedade. O comércio internacional provoca um fosso entre pobres e ricos, aumentando a dicotomia Norte/Sul, tendo em conta a perspetiva ocidental, industrial e capitalista. Com o agravamento das problemáticas sociais, económicas e políticas, reconhece-se a importância de alternativas. É através desta realidade que se pretende avaliar o impacto social da prática de Comércio Justo (CJ) em grupos de artesãos no Peru. A presente análise tem como objetivo o enquadramento teórico da Economia Solidária (ES), na análise do uso do CJ como instrumento para alcançar uma melhoria na qualidade de vida dos artesãos de têxtil. Esta visão fundamenta-se na visão do Buen Vivir (BV), defensor do respeito mútuo entre seres humanos, equilíbrio com o meio ambiente, culturas indígenas e técnicas ancestrais. Apesar da composição do caso de estudo ser diminuta, os resultados demonstram um impacto positivo da prática de CJ no âmbito de melhoria de rendimentos dos artesãos, o que gera, consequentemente, melhoria de habitação, aumento de poder de compra, entre outros. Todavia, existem indicadores de descontentamento e problemáticas que servem como sugestões/recomendações. A análise centraliza o conceito de BV e sugere uma transformação proposta através da ES e uma mudança profunda que coloque o ser humano no centro, o equilíbrio com o ambiente, respeito pelas diferentes culturas, direitos humanos, empoderamento das mulheres, promovendo uma construção da sociedade mais igualitária, equitativa e justa.
The current economic model foments a profound inequality, poverty and social needs. The economic interests prevail over human's value. International trade increases the dichotomy North/South, increasing differences between developed and developing countries, considering the western, industrial and capitalist perspective. The aggravation of social, economic and political problems gives now a recognition of the importance of alternative economic models. Is throughout this reality that the measuring of the social impact of Fair Trade (FT) is important in artisans' groups in Peru, which implies a case study in loco. The present analysis has the purpose of a theoretical framework on Solidary Economy (SE) and how the FT contributes to an increase on this artisans' life. This vision is based on the Buen Vivir theory which defends the respect between human beings and mother nature, indigenous cultures and ancestors' techniques. Through the obtained results and knowing that the demonstration is in a small scale, it is possible to comprehend the positive value of the impact of FT, in the better income of the artisans and the consequences of it in their own life. Nevertheless, there are some complains and discontent which serve as recommendations. This analysis centralizes Buen Vivir, good life, cultural respect, it suggests political and economic changes. Changes in the international system with local development policies. It suggests a transformation through ES that will put mankind in the center, that respects the environment, cultures, ancestral craft techniques, human rights, promotes women empowerment and a more egalitarian, equitable and fair society.
