Abstract Because of the high concentration of land in Brazil, agrarian reform plays a significant role in reducing inequalities in the countryside. However, globalization increases competition, and the survival of farmers depends on technological and marketing efficiencies, which represent difficult aspects for settlers to address. Collective organizations are becoming increasingly important; however, these organizations are rare in the settlements. Based on this finding, this study identifies the factors that influence collective action in rural settlements in the Brazilian Midwest. For that, 1162 questionnaires were completed in 54 settlements in the states of the region, and 55 presidents of collective organizations were interviewed. Organizations were classified as commercial, political and mixed, depending on their activities. Most organizations invest mainly in short-term investments for which it is difficult to exclude beneficiaries. Sanctions are rare, and when they are possible, they are rarely applied. This is a problem in commercial organizations, where it is an obstacle for the effective participation of members. In political organizations, membership is not a problem, but the lack of leadership should be addressed. Mixed organizations are not a solution, since the characteristics of political and commercial organizations are antagonistic. The creation of two distinct organizations is preferable.

来自巴西中西部地区土地改革的巴西移民:通过合作社和协会参与集体行动的因素

摘要由于巴西土地高度集中,土地改革在减少农村不平等方面起着重要作用。但是,全球化加剧了竞争,农民的生存取决于技术和市场效率,这是定居者难以解决的问题。集体组织变得越来越重要。但是,这些组织在定居点中很少见。基于此发现,本研究确定了影响巴西中西部农村居民区集体行动的因素。为此,在该地区各州的54个定居点完成了1162份问卷,并采访了55位集体组织的主席。根据组织的活动将组织分为商业组织,政治组织和混合组织。大多数组织主要投资于短期投资,很难将受益者排除在外。制裁是罕见的,并且在可能的情况下,很少实施制裁。这是商业组织中的一个问题,在商业组织中,这是成员有效参与的障碍。在政治组织中,成员资格不是问题,但是应该解决领导力不足的问题。混合组织不是解决方案,因为政治和商业组织的特征是对立的。最好创建两个不同的组织。阻碍会员有效参与的地方。在政治组织中,成员资格不是问题,但是应该解决领导力不足的问题。混合组织不是解决方案,因为政治和商业组织的特征是对立的。最好创建两个不同的组织。阻碍会员有效参与的地方。在政治组织中,成员资格不是问题,但是应该解决领导力不足的问题。混合组织不是解决方案,因为政治和商业组织的特征是对立的。最好创建两个不同的组织。
