This book intends to provide analytical and policy tools for investigating the question of the development of rural and peri-urban areas. The aim is to shed some light on this topic and in particular to contribute to a better understanding of the link between issues of regional or territorial development and issues of rural development. The text addresses the question of the disputed notions and definitions of rural development in rural and regional studies, examines the literature of regional and territorial development and the policies of regional development and planning. It also presents scenarios for the future of rural areas, with a focus on European territories.

'Proximity is a concept increasingly used in the international literature on clusters, knowledge transfers and innovation, as well as in the policies that support these processes. In Regional Development and Proximity Relations, Andr e Torre and Fr ed eric Wallet have collected contributions from some of the world's leading regional scientists to highlight these topics. They have done a good job.' - Hans Westlund, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. 'Over the past decades, proximity has become a leading paradigm in economic geography and beyond. This landmark book marks the latest developments in proximity research, bringing together the leading scholars in the field.' - Koen Frenken, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. The notion of proximity is increasing in popularity in economic and geographic literature, and is now commonly used by scholars in regional science and spatial economics. Few academic works, however, have explored the link between regional development and proximity relations. This comprehensive book redresses the balance with its assessment of the role of, and obstacles caused by, proximity relations in regional development processes. The expert contributors illustrate that the value of integrating proximity into the regional development analysis framework is due its plasticity and ability to draw connections between spatial, economic and social dimensions. Possible changes for regional and territorial policies are also an outcome of this integration. These areas are addressed via four main paradigms: Proximity and regional development, Spatial innovation processes, Networks and proximity relations, Place-based strategies and proximity relations. Students, academics, researchers and regional development practitioners with an interest in regional proximity will find this highly original book to be an illuminating read.

Cet ouvrage est un travail collectif associant des géographes, économistes, politistes, sociologues. Son intention est de revisiter le processus contemporain de production et de circulation des normes pour l’action territoriale en opérant un double décentrage du regard. Le premier est d’élargir le champ des situations examinées, souvent limité sur cette thématique précise aux pays occidentaux, voire européens. L’objectif est de comprendre la diversité des problématiques et des situations en prenant en compte un large panel d’expériences au niveau international. Le second décentrage est celui de l’interdisciplinarité. L’objectif est ici de rapprocher les points de vue et analyses disciplinaires en sciences sociales, notamment en géographie sociale, sciences politiques, économie institutionnelle, histoire… traitant de l’action publique territoriale. Ce livre offre aux lecteurs une compréhension du rôle des échelles de l’action publique, dans de multiples situations d’études de cas, mais aussi analyse la construction et la circulation des normes de l’action locale entre les formes d’incubation territoriale, de transfert ou de mimétisme entre territoires, instruments ou acteurs.
