Multi-case-study research conducted in some rural villages of Argentina and Italy is intended to propose a model of analysis and monitoring of the “collaborative processes” which stands behind the tourist enhancement of local assets. Based on the definition of “collective impact”, three main issues are analyzed: (1) the shortage of social capital, typical of some contemporary rural areas as a social problem; (2) the commitment of actors from different sectors to the common agenda of tourist development; (3) the structured form of coordination driven by extra-local organizations and programs, aimed at fostering sustainable tourism in rural villages. These issues are developed into key concepts used for the comparative description and analysis of the cases and for the definition of a common model of measurement and monitoring of the ongoing development processes. The main results are synthesized into a bidimensional plot, where the x-axis represents the “integration” dimension and the y-axis the “coordination”. Each village is then represented as a point of the Cartesian plan. The final idea is to use the model to monitor the processes within each different rural village and to measure the changes over time.
El capital transnacional tiene como protagonistas a las cadenas globales de valor (CGV), comandadas por un conjunto de actores de escala global, que monopolizan la tecnología avanzada, el capital-dinero y el conocimiento estratégico para controlar los nodos centrales del proceso de acumulación del capital. Estas nuevas formas de producción capitalista y el desarrollo de actores transnacionales ponen en crisis el sistema institucional clásico del Estado nación, produciendo un tipo de territorialidad global y una nueva estatalidad que modifica el sistema interestatal, a la vez que modifican las relaciones de poder centro-periferia. En una situación de transición histórica mundial, la vieja periferia y algunos de los viejos territorios centrales se debaten entre el proyecto ‘globalista’ y el desarrollo de bloques de poder relativamente autónomos. En dicho escenario, América Latina se ve tensionada por diferentes estrategias de integración, por los recientes cambios políticos que volvieron a fortalecer las políticas neoliberales, el modelo de integración del regionalismo abierto y la inserción territorial subordinada de las regiones a través de políticas como la del Plan Belgrano en Argentina.
