Auf dem Hintergrund der ökonomischen und sozialen Rahmenbedingungen des Landes stellt der Verfasser des Handbuchartikels die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Gewerkschaften in Honduras dar. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei Organisationsstruktur und Beteiligung der Gewerkschaften an den innenpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen. Abschließend werden die neueren Entwicklungstendenzen in der Gewerkschaftsbewegung skizziert, die sowohl von antigewerkschaftlicher Repression im eigenen Land als auch von dem Einfluß der revolutionären Entwicklung in Nicaragua geprägt sind. Ergänzt wird die inhaltliche Darstellung durch Literaturhinweise und die Anschriften der Gewerkschaftsbünde. (KS)

The development has been one of these harmful words that for decades has poisoned society. The development is understood as a goal that all countries must reach an inevitable destiny where reigns the maximization of wealth, promotes individualism over community sense and rapidly destroy our Mother Earth. That development has become a trap that transcends the economic and the political and culturally has taken root in the minds of the population. This paper presents various assessments of the notion of development, highlights the assumptions behind their connotations.Questions the fact that poverty, or poverties, reduction is not enough to copy recipes and models, many of them failed, it is looking for other alternatives, is looking at the world through different eyes; It is to represent Honduras as our own to transform it. In this country lied, oppressed, robbed, abducted and punished for corruption, poverty has continued to grow despite the many interventions called development. Therefore, we need a different way of acting; create a thought that denature the shameful social exclusion suffered by these people, we need a real cognitive justice; study reality in ascending to comprehend and understand; it is necessary to reconsider and analyze assumptions of so many men and women who have loved and served his nation; because talking and do more of it will mean to be faithful witnesses of exclusion and poverty, myths and development ghosts that refuse to disappear in this noble country called Honduras. Economía y Administración (E&A) Vol.6(1) 2015 ; El desarrollo ha sido una de esas palabras nocivas que durante varias décadas ha envenenado a la sociedad. El desarrollo se entiende como una meta que todos los países deben alcanzar, un destino inevitable en donde impera la maximización de la riqueza, se promueve el individualismo por encima del sentido comunitario y se destruye a pasos agigantados nuestra Madre Tierra. Ese desarrollo se ha convertido en una trampa que trasciende lo económico y lo político y se ha arraigado culturalmente en el imaginario de la población. Este trabajo presenta diversas valoraciones de la noción del desarrollo, resalta las premisas que están detrás de sus connotaciones.Cuestiona el hecho de que para reducir la pobreza, o las pobrezas, no basta con copiar recetas y modelos, muchos de ellos fracasados, se trata de buscar otras alternativas posibles, es mirar al mundo con otros ojos; es representar a nuestra Honduras como propia para poder transformarla. En este país mentido, oprimido, robado, castigado y secuestrado por la corrupción, la pobreza no ha parado de crecer a pesar de las múltiples intervenciones del llamado desarrollo. Por ello, necesitamos una manera diferente de actuar; crear un pensamiento que desnaturalice la vergonzosa exclusión social que sufre este pueblo, necesitamos una verdadera justicia cognitiva; estudiar la realidad de forma ascendente para comprender y comprendernos; es necesario retomar y analizar postulados de tantos hombres y mujeres que han amado y servido a su nación; porque hablar y hacer más de lo mismo implicará ser fieles testigos de la exclusión y la pobreza, de los mitos y fantasmas del desarrollo que se niegan a desaparecer en este noble país llamado Honduras.Economía y Administración (E&A) Vol.6(1) 2015
