The rural in democratic innovations: a comparative proposal between Latin America and Europe

José Duarte Ribeiro, João Moniz · 2025 · Cadernos Metrópole

Summary. Democratic innovations in rural Europe focus on development, environment, and local economics within existing political structures, emphasizing institutional strengthening and sustainability. Rural Latin America uses democratic innovations differently—as tools for emancipatory struggles including indigenous rights defense and food sovereignty. The paper argues these innovations challenge fundamental notions of development and rights in Latin America, whereas European innovations primarily improve public policies without questioning the political model.
