Since their origins, rural development programs have considered the county level as the axis on which to implement their development strategies. Taking Tajo-Salor County (Extremadura, Spain) as a reference, this research analyzes the assessment that some of the agents directly involved in the implementation of these programs make of the suitability...

One of the main objectives of rural development programs is the economic diversification of rural areas. In the context of the European Union, the application of the Leader Initiative (referred to today as the Leader Approach) is perhaps the best example of this type of policy. Based on the case study methodology, the objective of this work is to a...
In recent years geoparks, helped by governmental policies, have become tourist destinations especially among senior visitors. The paper aimed to analyse whether geoparks contribute to improving the health of tourists older than 65 years and what were their main motives to visit geoparks. The data were collected from 398 senior tourists who visited...
Dear Colleagues,
In developed countries, the traditional agrarian vision of the rural world, which univocally identified as agrarian and rural, has given way to a multifunctional approach to this space. In the 1990s, the European Commission, through the then novel Leader Initiative, launched rural development programmes, whose main objective was e...

Methods- A theory-based structural equation model will be carrie...
The promotion of rural tourism is one of the measures that has aroused most expectations in the application of the endogenous rural development programmes promoted by the European Commission at the beginning of the 1990s. Using the case study methodology, this research aims to compare the implementation of the aforementioned measure in two regions...
This article describes the evolution of the regulation of agricultural trade and analyses key aspects of the negotiations of the Uruguay and Doha Rounds, in which the least developed countries managed to make the final outcome of the negotiations conditional on progress in the liberalisation of agricultural trade. Four Latin American countries (Arg...
Nuevamente, Europa se encuentra inmersa en un controvertido proceso de reforma de su Política Agraria Común (PAC). Esta última reforma, es una etapa más de la larga evolución iniciada en los años sesenta; en la que la PAC se ha convertido en protagonista indiscutible de gran parte de los debates comunitarios de mayor calado. Tras un largo período e...
El propósito de esta investigación es aportar herramientas metodológicas que, en un escenario de largo plazo, permitan analizar los efectos que la aplicación de los programas de desarrollo rural endógeno, tienen sobre el territorio; o, dicho de otra forma, la huella de estos programas más allá del período de elegibilidad de las inversiones ejecutad...
The evolution of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been conditioned by a number of factors. Among them is the so-called external aspect of the CAP on which this work focuses, being the main objective to analyze the relationship between the evolution of the CAP and the negotiations leading to the liberalization of international agricultural t...
A principios de los años noventa, la Comisión Europea, en base a la convocatoria de la Iniciativa Leader, planteó un modelo de desarrollo para el medio rural europeo. Uno de los objetivos de este tipo de programas será la diversificación económica del medio rural. En base a una amplia revisión de la literatura existente, esta investigación pretende...
ABSTRACT:
In the mid-eighties, the European institutions show their growing concern for the economic and social cohesion of the territory and the consequences that the imminent reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) could have on the rural environment.
In this context, the LEADER Initiative (acronyms that correspond to
the French term Liai...
Abstract In the genesis of theories, which provide a basis for endogenous rural development policies, a major role is played by those critical views of this predominant position of economic thought, which had achieved to establish an increase in production and its measurement through quantitative indicators as the top and only priority of economic...
The strategy of the institutionalization and development of business agglomerations, in any of its analytical aspects (industrial district, local production system, cluster, etc.), has not had great results in Spanish regions with low business-density, probably due to the difficulty of finding an adequate implementation framework in administrative,...
A principios de los años noventa la Comisión Europea (CE) puso en marcha la Iniciativa
Comunitaria Leader. Más allá de sus propósitos y de su enfoque, la novedad de esta Iniciativa se extiende, también, a su sistema de gestión y administración. Un sistema que supone un reto para la CE dado que: a) en su financiación participan los tres fondos estru...
La Comunicación “El futuro de los alimentos y de la agricultura” (Comisión Europea, 2017) supone el punto de partida de una nueva reforma de la Política Agraria Común (PAC) que, nuevamente, condicionará el devenir de las acciones europeas de desarrollo rural. En este contexto, ante la irrelevancia presupuestaria a la que parece verse abocada la pol...
In the early 1990s, with the Leader Initiative, the European Commission intended to apply a new development model in order to encourage the economic diversification of the rural world. The expectations raised by the first Leader Initiative motivated Spain to approve the Proder Program to allow those regions that had not been beneficiaries of the af...

Diversos autores vinculan la evolución de la PAC con los compromisos que la Europa comunitaria se ve obligada a asumir en las negociaciones sobre comercio internacional agrario celebradas en el seno de las Rondas de Uruguay y Doha. Estudiar las razones por las que ambas cuestiones se relacionan, y las consecuencias que de ello se derivan, constituy...
Una errónea gestión pública de la inmigración extranjera en un territorio puede generar reacciones xenófobas. Se evidencia cómo una inadecuada previsión y dotación de servicios sociales y recursos públicos (sanitarios, administrativos, educativos, etc.) ha dado lugar, en un territorio con una alta concentración de población inmigrante, a un sentimi...
In the mid-1980s, at the same time as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms resulted in a decrease in agricultural employment, the Single European Act transformed the reduction of regional differences into an objective of European regional policy. The LEADER Initiative and the PRODER Program were two of the instruments chosen by the European...
