Resumen
Descripción
New 2007-13 planning framework of the
EU keeps using economic criteria (GDP) to identify
those regions requiring priority attention
(convergence objective). Although these criteria are
useful for the overall Regional Policy, nevertheless it
might result some planning failures of the strategies of
rural development.
This work focuses in evaluating possible failures of
the Rural Development Programmes. For this
purpose, a wide range of member Estates and Regions
has been selected and two analysis have been applied:
first, the coherence analysis (in relation to the
economic, social and environmental situation of
territories); and second, the conflict (among the rural
territories development objectives) analysis.
As result of this evaluation, a typology of the
analysed Rural Development Programmes will be
shown, which identifies different cases of failures. This
work concludes that the use of methodological criteria
in Regional Policy complementing to the Efficiency
criteria might improve the territorial cohesion process
and reduce some of the analysed failures in rural
areas.
