LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE REGIONAL STATE IN SPAIN

Antonio Vázquez‐Barquero

Papers in Regional Science, 1987, vol. 61, issue 1, 65-78

Abstract: ABSTRACT Economic growth and structural change have so far been analysed mainly in terms of the polarised urban‐industrial growth model which is based on large firms. However, a distinctive feature of Spanish industrialisation experience is the one played by the traditional and diffuse rural‐industrial growth pattern bused on small firms. The mobilisation of local resources has ensured a pattern of endogenous development. The paper defines endogenous industrialisation, measures and analyses its incidence in Spain, and explores how the creation of the Regional Stale in 1978 and the transfer of competences to the regions favours the definition and implementation of a local development strategy.
