“…From a theoretical point of view, the Leader approach have been studied by the European Association for Information and Local Development (AEIDL) [8], as well by a multitude of authors who, in view of the EC's concern for the development of the European rural environment and the approval of the Leader Initiative and other development programmes inspired by it, have tried to conceptualise the philosophy and principles of these programmes [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. However, beyond the theoretical sphere, a quick review of the existing literature suggests that researchers have put the most effort into the analysis of the results achieved with the application of these programmes.…”

Tourism Development in the Framework of Endogenous Rural Development Programmes—Comparison of the Case Studies of the Regions of La Vera and Tajo-Salor (Extremadura, Spain)

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 which, according to their characteristics, could be considered as antagonistic examples: one, La Vera, has all the conditions to successfully develop its tourism sector; the other, Tajo-Salor, with an adverse climate, lacking in outstanding tourism resources and far from the main centres of demand, could be considered the opposite. The results of the research show the risks inherent in an excessive specialisation in tourism within development strategies. Paradoxically, in La Vera, the concentration of investment in the tourism sector has resulted in a higher number of failed and transferred projects, as well as the dissatisfaction of most of its tourism promoters with the viability of their businesses. In contrast, in Tajo-Salor, the results are more positive, despite the fact that this region has given less relative importance to the tourism sector.

“…This was first underscored by authors from the European Dependency School, as materialized in the production and commercial integration of Southern and Eastern European economies prior to political integration (Seers et al, 1980). Also, Musto (1986) describes the role of multinational corporations in the configuration of the intra-European IDL, as well as in the transformation of the external insertion pattern of new members. This pattern strengthens the technological dependence of the European periphery (Seers et al, 1980).…”

The Great Recession has highlighted striking inequalities within the European Union, necessitating an approach that permits clear understanding of their nature and scope. To this end, this article relies on the Structuralist centre-periphery (C-P) literature, meanwhile seeking to update the validity of C-P analysis in a context of international fragmentation of production. Following a critical review of the relevant literature, that permits us to connect Structuralist theories with the GVC literature, we propose an analysis of the comparative evolution of productivity and wages, focussing on the transport equipment sector. The empirical analysis shows that convergence between centre and periphery has been higher in productivity than in wages, given that the productivity gains of central economies have been transferred to wages to a greater extent than in peripheral economies. This dynamic has been accentuated since the crisis erupted, as wages in the central and peripheral economies have diverged, fomenting greater polarization.

“…Also from the very beginning, applying the Leader Initiative and other programs mentioned above aroused great interest in the scientific and academic community, both among those trying to characterize the Leader Approach from a theoretical standpoint [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and those interested in quantifying its impacts from different perspectives [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

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 analyze the viability of the projects promoted by this type of program. A long-term scenario is taken as a reference, and this is precisely one of the main methodological innovations of this research in relation to most of the analyses focused on the impacts of rural development programs. The results of the research show (a) an orientation of the development strategy towards the promotion of rural tourism and (b) differences in the survival of the projects according to the type of productive measure under which they have been implemented: agricultural valorization and marketing projects offer better results than those promoting rural tourism or the promotion of SMEs and crafts and services. These results call into question the notable concentration of investment in projects aimed at creating tourist accommodation.
