    From marginality to capabilities territory: estimate territorial capital to lead human development. The case of a local action group in Apulia (South Italy)

    No full text
    The South of Italy has been experiencing adverse dynamics for some time, which have exposed it more easily to the socio-economic turbulence that grips many parts of the planet. Even the most recent data (Svimez, 2022; Istat; 2022; Eurostat; 2021) reveal processes of further marginalization and growing vulnerability: Employment decreases and job insecurity increases, incomes decrease, absolute poverty grows, and social capital is impoverished (BES, 2022). The consequent underutilization of human resources and acquired skills quickly leads to a loss of human and territorial development potential, already highlighted by U-Haq and Sen (1998; 1999) with the principle of “in-human” development. The erosion and extraction of value lead to the consequent process of human resources vulnerability and their loss of basic capacity, as well as the increasing marginalization process of the territory (Vaughan, R.P., Walker, M., 2012). Conversely, co-creating networks capable of enhancing tangible and intangible heritage as a system of combined capabilities (Nussbaum, 2000) is a regenerative and development perspective for new economies (AICON, 2020; Zamagni, 2019)

    Una proposta per la definizione e rilevazione del capitale territoriale in Italia

    The concept of territorial capital has been discussed in numerous international documents and in different disciplinary fields. The review of the literature shows a definitive recurrence of some contributions and a recent renewed interest in the theme. This happened in a context of profound change that has seen the gradual affirmation of “territorial” and “bottom-up” approaches compared to the traditional “exogenous” and “top-down” ones. From this point of view, the greater attention paid to the satisfaction of local needs also relativizes the concept of resource. The socio-cultural dimension assumes a key role as it depends on the representation of the territory and therefore the development objectives of a community. Then, the concept of territorial capital seems to provide an important contribution, especially in terms of defining the logical framework of reference. In this research, starting from the literature, the aim is to elaborate a definition of “territorial capital” which, while reflecting the elements of complexity referred to, can be applied to different contexts and allow a schematic simplification of the representation of the territorial qualities. The analysis of the factors that determine it and the choice of the variables for its representation clearly highlight the need to reflect further on the approaches for its measurement and on the modalities of its use in support of development policies

    The Role of Agriculture in Rural Development in Spain and Italy Within the Framework of the LEADER 2007–2013 Programming Period

    The mainstreaming of LEADER in the 2007–2013 programming period opened up the possibility of integrating participative, bottom-up approaches into the range of rural development programmes applied in EU member states. This study of Spain and Italy reveals that in the end this did not happen and in some cases was deliberately avoided. The measures to be applied within regional programming were homogenized through European guidelines and National Strategic Plans, based on the paradigm of modernization and of linear growth rather than on more innovative approaches based on multi-functionality and the circular economy. Significant similarities were detected between the two countries in terms of the widespread use of structural measures while those relating to technical support and training were neglected. We also observed greater diversity between the Italian regions in terms of the measures implemented than in Spain where a more uniform approach was adopted
