Resumo
O Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD) se destaca como importante órgão da Organização das Nações Unidas para a questão do desenvolvimento. Ele também é responsável pela elaboração e publicação do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH). O PNUD atua em mais de 166 países e exerce influência importante na teoria e nas práticas relacionadas ao desenvolvimento econômico. É muito relevante ter elementos que possam esclarecer os reais alcances e limites de atuação deste Programa. Assim o objetivo deste artigo é identificar, sistematizar e interpretar de forma crítica a base teórica do paradigma do desenvolvimento humano, no qual se fundamenta a atuação do PNUD. A abordagem das capacidades de Amartya Sen constitui a base teórica do paradigma do desenvolvimento humano. Essa abordagem é bastante conveniente à natureza pragmática e consensual da atuação do PNUD, pois propõe um foco maior na expansão das capacidades individuais, mas sem pleitear por mudanças estruturais na ordem econômica internacional.
Abstract
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is an important body of the United Nations for development issues. It is also responsible for the construction and publication of the Human Development Index (HDI). The UNDP is present in more than 166 countries and exerts an influence on the theory and practice of economic development. It is very important to define the elements which allow the establishment of limits to the UNDP’s action. The purpose of this paper is to identify, classify and critically explain the theoretical basis for the paradigm of human development, on which its line of work has been based. The capabilities approach developed by Amartya Sen is the theoretical basis for the paradigm of human development. This approach is very convenient for the pragmatic and consensual nature of the UNDP’s action because it proposes a greater focus on the expansion of individual capabilities, but without calling for structural changes in the international economic order.
Key words: Sen, Amartya Kumar. Economic development. Human development. UN. UNDP
