Between capital investments and capacity building—Development and application of a conceptual framework towards a place-based rural development policy
Summary. This paper develops a framework for place-based rural development policy that divides investments into territorial capital (physical, human, natural) and capacity building (modernisation, restructuring, stabilisation). Using EU regional spending data from 2007–2011, the authors find that over half of European regions prioritise natural capital or stabilisation, while others combine multiple topics. Regional spending patterns vary significantly, reflecting how different authorities and local actors shape policy implementation across places.
