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.

Objective: Tourism has become the main engine of economic, social and environmental development in several countries, so promoting tourism awareness among tourists and the local population should be a priority. The present study aims to suggest a status of the research carried out on the topic of tourism awareness. Design / methodology / approach: The type of analysis is through a retrospective and exploratory bibliometric study. The analysis materials were scientific articles and a training manual published between 2000 and 2020, registered by Scopus, Emerald insight and Dialnet, using “tourism awareness” as the keyword. Results: When considering the three senses in which tourism awareness ought to operate, it is concluded that studies are more focused on the relationship and contact of the host community with the tourist. It is observed that four out of six articles in this sense consider that education, training, and government policies around tourism awareness should be developed in a better way in the destinations, in order to be an element that contributes to the development of communities and reduces poverty in developing countries. Study limitations / implications: It is considered a limitation not to include thesis dissertations. Findings / conclusions: It is necessary to make visible the importance of tourism awareness as a local development strategy for communities, in addition to including tourism awareness on the part of tourists.

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.
