This paper examines the effects of recent political and economic trends on the wellbeing of campesino communities in Latin America. After briefly reviewing the appropriateness of the term "campesino" in the rapidly changing political economy of Latin America, the article concludes that there is an identifiable group of people for whom the term campesino is appropriate and that members of campesino communities face common problems. Many analysts agree that campesino communities face interlocking social and economic crises with important consequences for the environment and the continued viability of their livelihoods. The paper analyzes these crises and their origins in the historical neglect of the rural poor. The paper concludes with some suggested actions to ameliorate these conditions, with special attention to the role of social scientists in this process.Key words: campesino, Latin America, environment, social scientists.

This article examines collective actions led by peasant communities in the Paramillo Massif in Colombia. It juxtaposes these locally defined development proposals focused on maintaining the balance between society and the environment with dominant neoliberal development models implemented by the Colombian State that promote developmentalism and seemingly exacerbate armed conflict in the country. The article frames this analysis within the context of political ecology, with the purpose of questioning the ideological bases for large-scale development that negatively impacts local communities both socially and environmentally.Spanish abstract:Este artículo examina acciones colectivas lideradas por comunidades campesinas en el Nudo del Paramillo, Colombia. El autor yuxtapone estas propuestas de desarrollo definidas localmente centradas en mantener el equilibrio entre la sociedad y el medio ambiente, con modelos dominantes de desarrollo neoliberal implementados por el Estado colombiano que promueven el desarrollismo y aparentemente exacerban los conflictos armados en el país. El artículo enmarca este análisis dentro del contexto de la ecología política, con el propósito de cuestionar las bases ideológicas para el desarrollo a gran escala que impacta negativamente a las comunidades locales tanto social como ambientalmente.French abstract:Cet article examine les actions collectives menées par des communautés paysannes du Nudo del Paramillo, en Colombie. Il juxtapose les propositions de développement définies à l'échelle locale et centrées sur le maintien d'un équilibre entre la société et l'environnement avec les modèles de développement néolibéral mis en oeuvre par l'État colombien qui promeuvent le développementalisme et exacerbent apparemment le conflit armé dans le pays. L'article formule cette analyse dans le contexte de l'écologie politique, dans le but de questionner les bases idéologiques d'un développement à grande échelle qui a des impacts négatifs sur les communautés aussi bien sur le plan social qu'environnemental.

299 páginas : mapas, gráficos ; Este estudio que expone los resultados del análisis histórico, teórico y político de los procesos de configuración del sistema agrario en Colombia (1980-2010), enmarcado dentro de los impactos del desarrollo económico internacional de la industria de alimentos y la expansión de agroexportables, es el primero de este tipo en el campo de los estudios agrarios en Colombia. Asimismo, el enfoque en los procesos de resistencia de los diferentes sectores del campesinado ha permitido valorar sus aportes y su potencial como fuente de conocimiento para democratizar la agricultura desde lo local. Los resultados de la investigación que se exponen en este trabajo han aportado a la elaboración de la propuesta de política pública sobre Zonas de Reserva Campesina, del Sistema Nacional de Reforma Agraria e incorporada en el Punta 1 del Acuerdo de Paz, ''Hacia un nuevo campo colombiano: Reforma Rural Integral", que busca terminar un conflicto armado de más de 50 años de duración, el más prolongado en la historia de América Latina. ; This study exposes the results of the historical, theoretical and political analysis of the configuration of the agrarian system in Colombia (1980-2010), framed within the impacts of the international economic development of the food industry and the expansion of agro-exports. Focuses on three processes: conflicts on land distribution policies, the development of agricultural production for export and agro-industries and peasant economies and its participation in labor and food markets. The focus on the resistance processes of the different sectors of the peasantry has made it possible to assess their contributions and their potential as a source of knowledge to democratize agriculture from the local level. The results of the investigation described in this work have contributed to the elaboration of the public policy proposal on Peasant Reserve Zones, part of the National System of Agrarian Reform, incorporated in Point 1 of the Peace Agreement," Towards a new ; Doctor en Estudios Sociales ; Doctorado
