Abstract: Policy guidelines and strategic recommendations concerning sustainable rural development and arising from academic research have basically two purposes. On the one hand, they support an integrated analysis of local territories and enrich policy initiatives at the regional scale, providing a dashboard of indicators to local governance and non-governmental organizations. At the same time, research evidence may indicate the directions of endogenous development, supporting local capabilities and prerogatives that are not fully exploited with regional and national interventions. This chapter delineates and discusses the additive value of such research evidence, as well as the latent inability to grasp local aspects of the ‘development’ dimension, providing practical solutions tailored to the operational research of problems and practices addressing territories, economic agents and political stakeholders.
