Resumen
- In recent years, a significant debate has been focused on approaches to neo-endogenous development in rural areas. In rural development practices it is very unlikely to find genuinely and exclusively endogenous policies, therefore it could be profitable to overcome the reductionist distinction between exogenous and endogenous, exploring the outcomes of a hybridization of the two approaches, as proposed by the so-called neo-endogenous development. The latter implies to be realized through a significant participation of the community. This is a process that, according to the literature, would be organized around the «social innovation». Using interviews with privileged actors, social innovation in its dynamics, actors and processes will be explored in two significant cases, of Italy (Castel del Giudice) and Spain (Huéscar). These are marginal municipalities with serious economic and social problems that have managed to implement interesting paths thanks to the presence of local territorial capital and extra-local factors. The two case studies have been analyzed using a strictly qualitative method: a set of priviledged actors were in-depth interviewed, and interviews were subject to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
