Show Abstract
The Intermunicipal Consortium for the Development of the Ribeira Valley (CODIVAR) and the Consortium for Food Security and Local Development (CONSAD) are two public action instruments created in the Ribeira Valley, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, to promote cooperation for local development. Over time, different actors appropriated these instruments, leading them into a state of inertial functioning, taking on a life of their own according to the representation of new interests. This process allowed the social construction of two overlapping territories, amounting to relations of backwardness within both instruments. In the case of CODIVAR, such relations explain their ability to keep a legitimized position in the local context of public actions, while with CONSAD, such relations have led the forum through paths that culminated in its emptying.
