The essay focuses on local development and governance. It examines the questions posed by the evolution of industrial districts and the new policy for local development, the so-called Instruments for Local Development. The analysis highlights a complex and contradictory relationship between the theory of local development, and in particular the notion of Marshallian Industrial District, and the new policy for local and regional development. Calling the new conceptual framework and legislation «negotiated development planning» engenders a fundamental ambiguity. It suggests a sort of continuity with the previous national policy of economic planning, but is instead defining a fundamentally different approach to government intervention in the economy.

Resumo: No final da década de 1990, o Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de moda íntima de Nova Friburgo foi identificado por atores de política do estado do Rio de Janeiro, e passou a ser alvo de iniciativas de promoção. Uma delas foi o Programa de Desenvolvimento de Distritos Industriais do Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio à Micro e Pequena Empresa (SEBRAE), do Instituto Promos (PROMOS) e do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), que representou um ponto de inflexão na trajetória de políticas de desenvolvimento do arranjo, pois a partir desse programa um número considerável de outras instituições passou a desenvolver ações de apoio. Essa capacidade de inspirar outras experiências, através da visibilidade e do efeito-demonstração, torna a política em questão um objeto de análise relevante. O intuito deste trabalho é investigar se essa política teve um caráter sistêmico ou não. Acredita-se que esse tipo de análise contribui para a compreensão dos desafios mais amplos das políticas estaduais de APLs no Rio de JaneiroPalavras-chaves: Arranjo produtivo local.

This paper provides an historical exploration of local governance in Yemen across the past sixty years. It highlights the presence of a strong tradition of local self-rule, self-help, and participation “from below” as well as the presence of a rival, official, political culture upheld by central elites that celebrates centralization and the strong state. Shifts in the predominance of one or the other tendency have coincided with shifts in the political economy of the Yemeni state(s). When it favored the local, central rulers were compelled to give space to local initiatives and Yemen experienced moments of political participation and local development.

AbstractThe municipality of Bahía Solano possesses important tourist attractions. The majority of them consist of natural wonders such as whale, dolphin and bird watching. Its marine area offers diving courses, all types of fishing, surfing, other water sports etc. The enormous amount of natural wealth stands in contrast to the lack of local development and the high rate of poverty among its inhabitants. Bahía Solano has enviable tourist professions but a low level of competition. This research proposes a methodology of social innovation, elaborated by researchers, that involves nature, communities and tour operators, where a connection of surveys with the expectations and perceptions of the different entities (inhabitants, tourists, and tour operators) has been obtained.
