Maxime Haubert, « L’évolution des organisations rurales dans les pays en développement : de l’entreprise à la société civile », Revue internationale de l'économie sociale: Recma, ID : 10.7202/1021120ar
This article studies the formation and functioning of rural organizations in developing countries by comparing two main periods in which the state and civil society play very different roles. Despite the considerable changes that have taken place in these organizations between the two periods, a single analytical framework can be applied to them that enables a better understanding of their nature, importance and viability in each situation. The article looks at the role these organizations play in the strategies of the different categories of actors concerned—dominated or dominant, internal or external. How do the objectives of private enterprises, households and the state work together? A battleground among actors trying to orient them according to their own respective agendas, can these organizations also be a ground for convergences, negotiations and adaptations/concessions?
