The territorial dimension in the EU programming and the New Framework for Public Policies: Territorial Tural Development, CAP Reform and new LEADER

2012

Lo que venimos denominando como perspectiva territorial del desarrollo es un fenómeno bastante reciente en el contexto de la Unión Europea, de apenas dos décadas. En esencia esta perspectiva territorial del desarrollo se ha centrado en un enfoque local de los procesos de desarrollo en las áreas rurales, de la mano, principalmente, de instrumentos como LEADER. La necesidad de incorporar la dimensión territorial a los procesos de desarrollo proviene no solo del éxito global de estos instrumentos, sino también por el convencimiento de que puede constituir un elemento fundamental de cara a la cohesión económica y social en el seno de la UE. Avances recientes, como el Libro Verde de la Cohesión …

Region jako podmiot wspólczesnej polityki rozwoju regionalnego

2021

The evolution of regional development regulations and goals evokes academic and ideological dispute over the essence of a region in regional policy. It provides the context for the presented considerations whose goal is to determine the extent to which the perception of a region as a subject in the regional development policy changes. The paper demonstrates the stable and changeable elements of regions’ identification in relation to the current processes and determinants of regional development. The analysis of source literature and strategic documents on regional development leads to the conclusion that the concept of a region as a subject of regional development policy is constant and uni…

Procesy modernizacyjne w rolnictwie a zrównoważony rozwój

2017

Celem opracowania jest wskazanie na różne wymiary procesów modernizacyjnych istotnych dla zrównoważonego rozwoju rolnictwa. Omawiane są: endogenizacja rozwoju rolnictwa, ekologizacja, dyfuzja wiedzy i informacji, warunki ponownego zakorzenienia rolnictwa w terytorium. Wskazano także na znaczenie uwarunkowań instytucjonalnych w inicjowaniu ścieżek modernizacyjnych. Analizy teoretyczne zilustrowano wnioskami z badań przeprowadzonych z wykorzystaniem wywiadu kwestionariuszowego w towarowych gospodarstwach rolnych regionu opolskiego. Potwierdzają one, że zakres i tempo zmian modernizacyjnych w poszczególnych wymiarach mogą być zasadniczo różne, a zrównoważony rozwój rolnictwa jest uwarunkowany …

Setting up Effective Management in Rural Development

Not only companies but also entire regions are faced with an intensifying international competition. Hence, regions are constantly forced to adapt their social and economic structures to changing conditions. The competitiveness of regions rests largely on networking and cooperation of various regional actors from the private, public and third sector. Such rather weakly institutionalised forms of steering are often subsumed under the heading of regional governance. However, regional governance does not evolve automatically. It is the subject of sound management under very complex conditions. Political opportunity structures can have a high impact on the establishment of regional governance. …

Integración y transformación económica en África: potencial y limitaciones del Área de Libre Comercio Continental Africana

2021

In March 2018, the African Union gave way to the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area, the largest area of economic integration in the world by number of countries involved. As of June 2020, 54 out of 55 African Union member countries have already signed the agreement, thus showing an almost complete unanimity on this topic. AfCFTA comes up when industrialisation strategies and economic transformation in Africa seem to have taken over orthodox structural adjustment and post-adjustment approaches. AfCFTA aims to increase the scarce intra-African trade, boost economic transformation, create the regional value chains and help African firms to join the global value chains. I…

Regional Economic Integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC): Analysing the Dynamics and Performance

2020

This article analyses the dynamics and performance of regional economic integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It proposes an innovative theoretical approach to the analysis of regionalism that refers to cooperation theory and takes the impact of external actors explicitly into account. The motivation for this research stems from the observation of a new wave of regionalism in the Global South. Many of these new or reformed regional integration organisations (RIOs) comprise of developing countries, particularly in Africa. In contrast to expectations of most mainstream integration theories, new regionalisms in the Southern Hemisphere have come into existence and sh…

Prejudice and need for relatedness expressed in the narratives of Finnish Roma early school leavers: A multi-case study

2023

AbstractSchool discontinuation in Finland is more common among the Finnish Roma than among the population as a whole. We lack knowledge of the perspective of those of the Roma, representing a minority inside a minority, who have left compulsory school without a leaving certificate. Within a study about school experiences of imprisoned early school leavers in Finland we had six participants with a Finnish Roma background, whose experiences of relatedness, and frustration of it, we examine in this paper. We conducted narrative interviews with the participants, applying a co-operative narrative interpretation to the meanings of what was told. After the field process, we interpreted the narrati…

Italian Adaptation of the "Autonomy and Relatedness Coding System

2013

The study examined the applicability of the observational technique developed by Allen and colleagues (Allen, Hauser, Bell, & O’Connor, 1994; Allen, Hauser, et al., 2003) to investigate the issues of autonomy and relatedness in parent-adolescent relationship in the Italian context. Thirty-five mother-adolescent dyads participated to a task in which they discussed a family issue about which they disagree. Adolescents were also administered a self-report measure assessing their relationship with mothers. Mothers reported significantly higher levels of promoting and inhibiting autonomy, and promoting relatedness behaviors than their children. Results also suggested a partial behavioral rec…
