Pratiques De La Gouvernance Locale En Allemagne Orientale

Abstract: This study of the practices of local governance in eastern German rural areas focuses on the application of the 2007-2013 LEADER Program. The latter, now a part of European Union agricultural and rural policies, is intended to develop local initiatives in territorial development. Its application supposes that local stakeholders will enter into networks of cooperation for designing and implementing development projects. In the countryside of former East Germany, this process involves a mechanism of institutional transfers that require a genuine learning effort on the part of local populations. This case study borrows methods from the structuralist sociology to analyze how these networks of cooperation operate under the Leader Program. It is hypothesized that these systems of local action are part of a game involving “logics” of both institutional transfers and the geographical context, which post-Communism has marked.
