Abstract

HOURS, Bernard. Las ONG: ciencia, desarrollo y solidaridad. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2006, n.23, pp.117-142. ISSN 1850-275X.

The international cooperation in the field of the development has experienced recent changes that, linked to the evolution of the ideologies, have sharply remodeled representations about North-south relationships. The ONGs have acquired an important place within the framework of a co-administration of the "planetary village" along with research and both occupy a place that is necessary to specify, to compare and to distinguish. The article is centered in the issue of the conditions and limits of the cooperation between research and the ONGs, questioning if they indeed constitute two closed and heterogeneous worlds, if they are complementary and which benefits for development they carry. The author aims to a relativization of the notion of development as it was understood in the decade of 1960, taking into account the difficulties involved in the step from knowledge to action. He also analyzes from an anthropological perspective the metamorphoses suffered by the representations of solidarity, from the ideologies of development to those of humanitarian action that motivate the social actors in ONGs.

Keywords : Anthropology of the present; NGO; Solidarity; Development; Humanitarian action ideology.
