Abstract

The main objective of this work is to carry out a reflection on the epistemological foundations of the European policies for rural areas. In particular, it emphasizes the progressive abandonment of an initially technocratic vision of the rural world to arrive at a predominantly interdisciplinary approach to economic and social analysis, driven by European institutions. While recognizing that the task of defining what is rural is not simple, it is evident that currently, the European Union proposes a pluralistic paradigm as a tool for ongoing analysis of the rural world. Furthermore, there is a clear willingness from the EU to build knowledge based on contributions from various territorial levels, in response to the need to promote local participation in accordance with an effective application of the principle of subsidiarity.
