Rural economic development is an important thing to do given the national economic development should start from the village. One of the efforts that can be done to develop the economy of the village is through entrepreneurship village, which can be the strategy in the development and growth of the welfare of the village community. Entrepreneurship village can be developed through the establishment of Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes). Rural regions that can not be separated from the agricultural sector, with the importance of the role of agricultural sector to the economy of the country, then the business BUMDes needs to be directed or developed with the activities of the agriculture-based businesses. The results obtained from this research is that BUMDes-based agriculture in the Juli District, Bireun District is in quadrant IV (diversify activities). In this quadrant the position of the organization is in the market is very small and the growth rate is low, therefore it is necessary to diversify the business. This position indicates an organization is weak and facing a big challenge. The recommendations of the given strategy is a survival strategy, meaning that the internal conditions of the organization is on the choice of a dilemma. Therefore, organizations are advised to use a defensive strategy, control of the performance of the internal so not getting mired. This strategy is maintained while continuing to attempt to fix themselves.

<p><strong>COMPRAS PÚBLICAS COMO INSTRUMENTO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO NACIONAL: NOVIDADES E QUESTIONAMENTOS ORIUNDOS DAS ALTERAÇÕES PROMOVIDAS PELA LEI Nº 12.349/2010 </strong></p><p><strong>Resumo:</strong> O poder de compra do Estado é um instrumento relevante para a promoção do desenvolvimento econômico nacional, em especial quando alinhado a outros mecanismos de política industrial de corte vertical. Considerando a magnitude das compras públicas no Brasil, torna-se ainda mais necessário que os certames licitatórios atendam não apenas ao interesse primário da Administração Pública (maior “vantajosidade” nas contratações), mas também realizem políticas públicas vinculadas aos objetivos constitucionais que imperativamente moldam toda a atuação do Estado brasileiro. Neste sentido, torna-se essencial compreender como as alterações promovidas no art. 3º da Lei Geral de Licitações (Lei n.º 8.666/1993) possibilitam a efetiva conformação de políticas públicas a partir do mecanismo das compras governamentais. O presente estudo abordará especialmente as disposições legais e regulamentares que tornam subsistente a concessão de tratamento privilegiado na aquisição de produtos manufaturados e/ou serviços nacionais, seja a partir da instituição de margens de preferência, seja pela restrição à participação de bens importados nos certames licitatórios.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chaves:</strong> margem de preferência; licitações; tratamento privilegiado; restrição a bens importados; desenvolvimento nacional sustentável.</p><p><strong>PUBLIC PURCHASES AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: NEWS AND QUESTIONS FROM THE AMENDMENTS PROMOTED BY LAW Nº 12.349 OF 2010</strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Public policies can be managed by the application of measures that restrict the government’s purchase of supplies, producing relevant effects in the economic development, especially when these mechanisms are aligned with other vertical industrial policy measures. Considering the magnitude of Brazilian government procurement budget, it becomes strictly necessary that bidding processes conform also the purpose of promoting public policies connected to the economic constitutional aims, that necessarily must shape the role of Brazilian State. This work paper aim to understand how the changes introduced by the art 3º of the General Procurement Law (Law n.º 8.666/1993) allow the effective shaping of public polices from the mechanism of government procurement. This study will discuss in particular legal tools that make subsistente the privileged treatment concession in the puchase of manufactured goods and/or national services, either from the institution of preference margins, either by restricting the participacion of imported goods in the bidding processes.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> preference margins; government procurement; privileged treatment; national development; bidding processes.</p><p><strong>Data da submissão:</strong> 09/11/2016                   <strong>Data da aprovação:</strong> 09/12/2016</p>

Abstract The role of tourism for local economic development (LED) is a topic of critical importance for geographers. In the case of South Africa tourism is a priority sector for national economic development. The significance of research issues around tourism and LED is underlined by the ‘developmental’ mandate of local governments. Although tourism has received attention in a growing body of LED writings on South Africa issues around agritourism so far have been overlooked. Agritourism represents an evolving form of rural tourism which is targeted at mainly urban consumers. Against the background of a review of international scholarship on agritourism this article explores its potential implications for LED planning in South Africa. A national audit of agritourism is presented which shows its uneven geographical distribution. Agritourism is of special significance for small town economic development in South Africa’s intermediate tourism spaces. Policy suggestions are offered for strengthening agritourism as a driver for LED in South Africa.

Supervision of market activities and competition in Islam has existed since the time of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and, at the same time, became a duty of an official called a muhtasib (supervisor). Al-Hisbah, as a controller institution for economic activities and market competition, aims to uphold the amar ma'ruf nahi munkar (commanding the good and forbidding the evil). Meanwhile, KPPU, as an independent institution, functions as a controller of the practice of monopolies and unfair business competition in Indonesia under the principle of economic democracy to support national economic development. This research uses the juridical-normative method with a historical and conceptual approach. Having compared the role of KPPU in supervising business competition to al-hisbah institution in Islam, this study finds out that KPPU, in general, is similar to al-hisbah on account that the substance and the values contained in al-hisbah have been embedded in KPPU especially in upholding amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in economic activities and business competition.
