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.
