The book
is based on the papers presented at an international symposium
at the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) on 5-6 November
1999. The book is co-published by ISPROM (Istituti di Studi
e Programmi per il Mediterraneo in Sassari, Cagliari) and
Publisud (Paris).
The goal
of this volume is to study both from theoretical and empirical
perspectives the determining factors which assure the transfer
of local know-how in an advanced sector, especially in the
agricultural and food industry. The contributions are to contribute
to a better understanding the mechanisms of a theory of local
economic development that could be relevant for economic development
policies in underdeveloped regions. The book is divided intro
parts. While the six contributions by P. Giovannini, A. Sassu,
A Sid Ahmed, A. Torre, L. di Comite and F. Losurdo as well
as A. Lopez Lopez and J. M. Mella Marquez in the first part
deal with the general and theoretical aspects that contribute
to transformation processes and to the development of local
know-how the nine chapters by L. Meldolesi, C. del Canto Fresno,
F. de Casabianca, V. Dordio, M. Tounsi, A. Feguène,
C. Manera, V. Nicolardi and P. Resta and G. Sabattini cover
the national and regional experiences in the Mediterranean
countries.
