Las redes de actores como elementos claves del desarrollo localAportaciones desde la sociología y la antropología del desarrollo

Abstract

In recent years, the model of territorial socioeconomic development has undergone a major transformation. Therefore, local development is now the centre of scientific and institutional interest. From this perspective, analytical data are appearing to highlight this new situation, establishing, as a point of reference, dimensions and local factors from which they could articulate developmental processes. All this tradition can be condensed in the so-called "local productive systems" and it highlights the importance between the actor and his or her interactions as a key factor in the local development. This paper proposes a new analytical model to evaluate the impact of the interactions between the actors in the local development process, specifically in those territories where tourism is used as a development tool to build the base of the lessons to which sociology and developmental anthropology can contribute.
