Sommario/riassunto

One of the key issues of the year is a simple one. Across Europe all listed companies will have to carry out their financial reporting under the rules promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board by the year 2005. This means that 2004, given that comparative figures will have to be shown in 2005, is the crunch time. But it is not only Europe. Countries right around the world have latched onto the initiative and are following suit. The question is how far this movement towards harmonizing global financial reporting can move. The stumbling block, like so much in the business world

Chapter1. The Territorial Policies as an Instrument for the Development of the Peripheral Areas -- Chapter2. The Theoretical and Methodological Framework -- Chapter 3. Transport  -- Chapter4. Urban Regeneration  -- Chapter5. Environmental Protection  -- Chapter6. Conclusions. Territorial Policies and the Local Development of Europe’s Periphery: Descriptive and Prescriptive Implications.

Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on territorial policies as instruments for local development in Europe’s periphery. Using a multiple-case research design in three typical case studies in the context of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia (Italy), we empirically test the hypothesis that the



institutionalisation of the governance system is an independent variable that is capable of influencing the quality of public policy, intended as a dependent variable. According to this hypothesis, the two above-mentioned variables tend to change according to a linear and direct correlation: upward variation of the degree of institutionalisation of the governance system tends to correspond to upward variation in the quality of the policy, and vice versa. In our conclusions, we discuss the descriptive and prescriptive implications of the empirical findings of the research for the local development of peripheral areas. Regarding the descriptive implications, we explain how territorial policy-making can be articulated, based on the degree of institutionalisation of the governance system and the quality of the territorial policies. Regarding the prescriptive implications, we identify the best practices for territorial governance in order to improve the chances of local development in Europe’s periphery.
