Fostering entrepreneurship as a means to overcome barriers to development of rural peripheral areas in Europe

Lois Labrianidis · 2005 · European Planning Studies

Summary. Rural areas in Europe face development barriers as traditional agriculture and forestry decline. The paper argues that fostering entrepreneurship can overcome these challenges. Success requires understanding rural areas through sociospatial characteristics and social representation rather than outdated definitions. Entrepreneurship thrives when supported by institutional contexts that encourage cooperation, social networks, and learning capacity within firms embedded in their broader social and political environments.
