Styles and logics of territorial action. The recent experience of the municipalities of Paraguay

Abstract Territorial action is a complex process of development in which public, private, and collective actions intervene. As the Latin American experience shows, municipalities are increasingly important actors in building local development. They act in different ways, and this work highlights these differences in style and form of intervention. The study identifies four types or styles of action that synthesize two main elements. First, the forms of organization for obtaining resources. Second, the types of actions prioritized to build development processes and reduce problems of structural poverty.

摘要 地域行动是一项复杂的发展进程，公共、私人与集体行动均会介入其中。正如拉美地区的实践经验所示，市镇在推动地方发展进程中正扮演着愈发关键的行动主体角色。各市镇的行动模式各有不同，本研究着重阐释了这类干预行为在风格与形式上的差异。本研究界定了四类行动类型与行动风格，其均整合了两大核心要素：其一，获取资源的组织形式；其二，为推进发展进程、缓解结构性贫困问题而优先采取的行动类型。
