Dissertação (Mestrado em Direito Agrário) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2013.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/5350This paper aims at analyzing the legal proceedings that gave rise to the acknowledgment of family agriculture as subject of rights and object of public policies by establishing thematic approaches with the purpose of seeking conclusions involving public policies and family agriculture. Firstly, there is a definition of limits regarding the historical milestone of debates encompassing the family farmer as responsible for a new project of rural development and the main factors that gave rise to their social and political emancipation. Pronafwas chosen in order to obtain a more detailed analysis of guidelines, principles, credit lines, target public, legal institutes of materialization and critical analysis due to the fact that it is the first and main public policy intended to this category. Thereafter, the importance of the public policy legal study is focused, mainly agrarian policies. The justifications that gave rise to the enactment of Law N. 11.326/2006 were presented establishing guidelines to the elaboration of the National Policy of Family Agriculture and Rural Family Ventures delimitating the concept of family farmer. The importance of the identification and delimitation of family agriculture was outlined as well. It is demonstrated that family agriculture builds its social emancipation historical process in the face of a project to overcome traditional unequal and unfair relationships through pluralistic, democratic and participative practices, transforming law into a social transformation tool and promoting dignity of the family unit itself by demanding new normative standards and effective public policies in order to include them as emerging subjects.application/pdfAcesso AbertoPolíticas públicasSujeito de direitosDesenvolvimento ruralPublic policiesSubject of rightsRural developmentCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITODissertação
