Esta obra recoge una miscelánea de artículos de autores españoles y brasileños sobre desarrollo regional que demuestran que, en este aspecto, las experiencias de ambos países son cada vez más semejantes. Aunque el sistema socioeconómico imperante se basa en postulados neoliberales, con una disminución del papel de los estados en las tendencias del desarrollo, todavía perviven políticas regionales subsidiadas con fondos públicos que se resisten a desaparecer. Esta aseveración es válida tanto para España como para Brasil y puede aplicarse, en general, a toda Europa y América Latina. Medamérica, desde su fundación hace ya veinte años, ha tenido como objetivo tender puentes académicos entre Barcelona y América Latina mediante la publicación de libros, la organización de seminarios internacionales, la creación de convenios entre la Universidad de Barcelona y diversas instituciones de Brasil y México, y la realización de más de treinta tesis de doctorado.

Developing countries are suffering from the multiple and overlapping problems of poverty, malnutrition, excessive population growth and also the increased environmental pollution due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, particularly in the existing urban centres. The migration from rural areas of agricultural population to urban areas is making this situation more problematic. The lack of established institutions leads to the failure of public policy no matter how efficiently it is formulated. The book discusses the major regional developmental problems in poor countries, covering economic, social and environmental problems. It deals with case-studies for a set of individual countries, and discusses their unique problems, investigating how the established methods of regional science can be used to solve some of these problems.

This volume represents the result of almost two decades of trans-Atlantic collaborative development of a policy research paradigm, the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies program. Over this period dozens of scientists from different disciplines but with a common interest in rural issues and policy have collaboratively studied the policies in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. A core element of the book is the idea and practice of comparative research and analysis – what can be learned from comparisons, how and why policies vary in different contexts, and what lessons might or might not be “transferable” across borders. It provides skills for the use of comparative methods as important tools to analyze the functioning of strategies and specific policy interventions in different contexts and a holistic approach for the management of resources in rural regions. It promotes innovation as a tool to valorize endogenous resources and empower local communities and offers case studies of rural policy in specific contexts. The book largely adopts a territorial approach to rural policy. This means the book is more interested in rural regions, their people and economies, and in the policies that affect them, than in rural sectors, and sectoral policies per se. The audience of the book is by definition international and includes students attending courses in agricultural and rural policy, rural and regional studies, and natural resource management; lecturers seeking course material and case studies to present to their students in any of the courses listed above; professionals working in the field of rural policy; policy-makers and civil servants at different levels seeking tools to better understand rural policy both at the local and global scale and to better recognize and comprehend how to transfer best practices.
