Comercio libre de tratados: Un análisis de los efectos del TLC Colombia-Estados Unidos en la estructura social - agraria de los productores de papa de la vereda el salvial, municipio de Tuta-Boyacá.

Abstract

The objective of this qualitative case study is to analyze the effects that the FTA has had on the Colombian countryside, in this case, on the peasant family economy of the potato sector in Tuta-Boyacá. In this sense, we seek to investigate the effects that the FTA has had on the peasant family structure, the labor market and its transformations in the social and cultural sphere. To this end, it is important to highlight the techniques used for data collection, which was guided by the construction of a conceptual framework. This, through semi-structured interviews, surveys, documentary review and participant observation, leads to a more holistic analysis of the transformation of the agrarian structure and its micro effects, which tend to disarticulate the subsistence economy, the labor markets and to problematize the stability of this type of economy due to the effects of generational replacement, land concentration, which is important for the production and reproduction of the peasant-producer family.
