| Presentation |

Locations of people and activities influence each other and can explain spatially unequal economic development levels, particularly for performance levels, all on a rural-urban gradient. Governance tools (policy design and stakeholder articulations) can be used to promote and modify market impacts. The objective of this WP is to analyse (i) the economic mechanisms that explain diverse situations of economic performance levels in rural areas across European countries; (ii) the role of development policies in peripheral areas, and their various impacts; and (iii) the local mechanisms that may or may not favor specific local dynamics. Analysis at a European level will be complemented by studies at the national level (France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden). Case Studies will cover these same countries.
