Este artículo es síntesis crítica del informe Políticas públicas y servicios financieros rurales en Mesoamérica realizado por Michelle Deugd, Hans Nusselder, Iris Villalobos e Ignacio Fiestas. El documento analizado consiste en un estudio comparativo en cinco países mesoamericanos (México, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua) de la articulación entre políticas públicas de promoción de los servicios financieros rurales y políticas públicas para el desarrollo rural. Después de presentar un panorama detallado de las situaciones nacionales, los autores muestran que existen patrones recurrentes de desarticulación entre las intervenciones públicas estudiadas. En base a su diagnóstico, plantean propuestas para una mejor integración de estos marcos políticos. Se resaltan aquí los hallazgos valiosos de esta pesquisa que permiten una buena comprensión de arquitecturas institucionales complejas. Se apuntan también ciertos enfoques que no fueron considerados por los autores y que habría que explorar para tener una visión más completa de la problemática.Abstract: This article is a critical synthesis of the report Políticas públicas y servicios financieros rurales en Mesoamérica written by Michelle Deugd, Hans Nusselder, Iris Villalobos and Ignacio Fiestas. The analysed document consists in a comparative study in five Mesoamerican countries (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua) on the articulation between promotional public policies for the promotion of rural financial services and public policies for rural development. After presenting a detailed panorama of the national situations, the authors show that there are some recurring schemes of disarticulation between the considered public interventions. On the basis of their diagnostic, they present some propositions for a better integration of these policy frameworks. Here we put forward the valuable findings of this research that contribute to a good understanding of complex institutional architectures. We also point some approaches that have not been considered by the authors and that should be explored in order to have a more complete vision of the problematic.Résumé : Cet article est une synthèse critique du rapport Políticas públicas y servicios financieros rurales en Mesoamérica réalisé par Michelle Deugd, Hans Nusselder, Iris Villalobos et Ignacio Fiestas. Le document analysé consiste en une étude comparative dans cinq pays mésoaméricains (Mexique, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras et Nicaragua) de l’articulation entre politiques publiques de promotion des services financiers ruraux et politiques publiques de développement rural. Après avoir présenté un panorama détaillé des situations nationales, les auteurs montrent qu’il existe des schémas récurrents de désarticulation entre les interventions publiques étudiées. Sur la base de leur diagnostic, ils présentent des propositions pour une meilleure intégration de ces cadres politiques. On met ici en avant les précieux apports de cette recherche qui permettent une bonne compréhension d’architectures institutionnelles complexes. On relève aussi certaines approches qui n’ont pas été prises en compte par les auteurs et qu’il faudrait explorer pour avoir une vision plus complète de la problématique.

Within the “WFD and agriculture activity” both communities agreed to co-operate during implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and further development of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) at EU, Commission and the Member States levels. In intensive discussions including two congresses and biannual working group meetings, seven information reports were produced. Rural Development programmes are unanimously considered to be very powerful instrument to support WFD implementation. However, limited budgets, combined with the large extent of agricultural pressures will considerably restrain the results this instrument might deliver. Limited effects are also expected from the cross-compliance standards, mainly because: the standards do not cover all WFD aspects, and the existing legislation is not implemented with the same rigour in all the Member States. WFD provides additional powerful tools (River Basin Management Planning and Water Pricing discussion) to improve the situation, but the timetables of WFD and CAP do not fit each other. The activity should be continued with an intensive discussion on case and success stories in all the mentioned tools informing both policy areas for the planned evaluation of cross-compliance in 2007, and a mid-term evaluation on rural development in 2009.

Large, concentrated settlements known as ‘agro-towns’ abound across Southern Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean. The prevalence and persistence of these settlements are very curious but not yet well understood. Initially, scholars interpreted their development as stemming from Southern Italy's economic and social ‘backwardness’ and inequality. This view has now been challenged by scholarship which emphasises that the pre-industrial Mezzogiorno supported not only a dynamic economy but also a diverse array of institutional structures. By recourse to a comparative study within Apulia, this paper suggests that both interpretations are equally correct. ‘Agro-towns’ in Southern Italy were linked to the inequitable distribution of land, perpetuated over the long term, but the institutional origins of this inequality were both diverse and dynamic.

Active association and willing cooperation of the people are essential ingredients for the success of rural development programmes. In the earlier part of this two part study,* the author had discussed in depth two intervention techniques (the harmony model and the conflict model) for mobilizing rural masses. In this concluding part, the author analyses techniques employed in rural development programmes of China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Tanzania, and India. He discerns five common dimensions between the harmony and conflict models and finds that the latter model is most suitable for bringing about structural interventions.

In most studies of land policy in Asian nations, there is general recognition that agriculture is troubled by problems of landownership, particularly in the landlord-tenant relationship. Many observers point out that these are the principal issues confronting agriculture and the peasantry in most Asian countries. Looking at India and Indonesia, there are a number of problems with differing characteristics in the both areas, such as reform in land tenure and rural social structure, production increase and improvement in marketing distribution, and the credit system.
