Developing entrepreneurship and enterprise in Europe's peripheral rural areas: Some issues facing policy-makers

David North, David Smallbone · 2005 · European Planning Studies

Summary. This paper examines policies supporting rural entrepreneurship across ten European peripheral areas. It categorizes existing policies, identifies lessons from their implementation, and highlights barriers to enterprise development. The authors argue that peripheral rural regions need more strategic, coordinated policy approaches to build entrepreneurial capacity and clarify enterprise's role in future rural development.
