Abstract
Even as a field of few publications, the rare disease begins to awaken the interest of some social groups of scientists seeking to understand the effects that civic associations generate in society. Specifically the subject and more consistently, it is in France that are the first proposals that seek to understand the work done by these associations. Joining some work of researchers in England, Portugal and the US, the prevailing view on the field of rare diseases has a European perspective. In contrast to this view, this work rescues the studies developed for master’s thesis to propose a perspective that goes beyond the apparent results of associations and find not only the motivations of militants as also the need for reconfiguration of thought on the field of rare diseases. This need for change is based on the market’s identification as the main coordinator of the field of rare diseases. Coordination try to deploy, in Latin America, the same primer imposed in the US and Europe for the sale of medicine under the guise of the sale of healing.References

Report No.: 026.30 Deve-se chamar a atenção para a grande variedade de trabalhos realizados na perspectiva dos estudos entre países diferentes, mas europeus, ou países diferentes e do “norte”. Muitas ações estão em andamento em países de todos os continentes, mas ainda sem grande interesse dos pesquisadores. Há o risco de, nos países da América Latina, o modelo europeu ser implantado na sua totalidade, sem considerar as características locais. Esse argumento é reforçado quando se percebe que as indústrias que investem nas associações, independentes do país, são, praticamente, as mesmas. A globalização da doença não pode superar a regionalização dos problemas.
