La sostenibilidad económica de las ayudas al turismo rural del Método Leader en áreas de montaña: dos casos de estudio españoles (Valle del Jerte y Sierra de Gata, Extremadura)

“…En los inicios del presente siglo, uno de los principales problemas que debe abordar la Unión Europea (UE a partir de ahora) es la despoblación y el riesgo de abandono de las zonas rurales (Ceccorulli, Fassi, & Lucarelli, 2015;Delgado Viñas, 2019;Recaño, 2017). El Dictamen del Comité Europeo de las Regiones (Diario Oficial de la UE 2017/C 017/08), 2017) establece que el cambio demográfico es uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrentan los países miembros de la UE, tanto a nivel comunitario como nacional, por las repercusiones negativas que están produciendo en los espacios rurales.…”

“…El Dictamen del Comité Europeo de las Regiones (Diario Oficial de la UE 2017/C 017/08), 2017) establece que el cambio demográfico es uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrentan los países miembros de la UE, tanto a nivel comunitario como nacional, por las repercusiones negativas que están produciendo en los espacios rurales. Los factores demográficos que lo definen son el envejecimiento, bajas tasas de natalidad y saldos migratorios negativos que producen, como resultado, la aparición de desigualdades territoriales y sociales respecto a las zonas urbanas (Ceccorulli et al, 2015;Eurostat, 2016;Molinero, 2012;Wiest, 20016;Zhelezov, 2011).…”

Talking Migration: Narratives of Migration and Justice Claims in the European Migration System of Governance

“…GLOBUS; migration; narratives; Europe; EUMSG; content analysis; discourse analysis; global justice Having been forged historically by centuries of migration and having forged other parts of the world through migration 1 (Livi Bacci 2012;Wolf 1982), characterised by areas of free transnational movement of people (the Single Market and Schengen), and going through a threatening demographic decline (Ceccorulli et al 2015;Eurostat 2018), Europe should, in principle, be home to socio-political systems that are open to human mobility. The European Union (EU), in particular, is the area in the world in which the most significant transformation of state sovereignty has taken place.…”

Securing borders, saving migrants: the EU’s security dilemma in the twenty-first century

“…As a consequence, the EU has tried to provide direction for its member states in this complex and multifaceted domain. With a considerable worsening of the demographic outlook for the EU, notably a declining and ageing population, migration could certainly turn into a golden opportunity for Europe: it could enable the European economies to sustain and improve their international competitiveness, pay for the costs of age-related entitlements, and more generally ignite those societies with the entrepreneurial energies of the young (Ceccorulli et al 2015). This demographic future, in conjunction with uncontrolled migration occasioned by civil conflicts in Northern Africa and greater Middle East, indeed, requires strategic thinking by the EU.…”
