Les limites du territoire: Une application de la notion de rayon de confiance au développement territorial

Abstract: The so-called territorial approach in regional development consists in assuming that some areas may be considered as self-organised systems of actors, and that socio-cultural features are essential determinants of development dynamics. This article aims at evaluating the domain of validity of the territorial approach. It first provides a theoretical model of endogenous organisation of a territory, and then presents the results of two case studies on French rural areas. These results suggest that a territorial approach should be limited to the areas characterised by a high and homogeneous cohesion, both in spatial terms and across economic sectors.
