France

We propose here a frame of analysis which allows to present a case study, that of the Belfort-Montbéliard-Héricourt Urban Area in the North-East of France , in a more general perspective: that of the local development. <br /><br />The approach in terms of local development rests on the identification of a territory considered as a space of active solidarity within which partners are called to mobilize and to coordinate the local resources in a prospect of diversification and enrichment of the economic and social activities. So, in the foundation of the approach in terms of local development, there is this concern to identify concrete socio-economic relations and potential partnerships transcending, if necessary, the borders of the institutional territories considered here in the sense of territories inherited from the political and administrative organization. <br /><br />Consequently, dealing with the case of the Belfort-Montbéliard-Héricourt Urban Area in a perspective of local development, it is to know to which extend this precise case informs us about the types of relations between different actors and institutions. <br /><br />In that case, the local projects are developed on a territory based on a political action. This political action leans on a certain socio-economic reality, which attends then to an operational and institutional recognition of this territory, notably by the central government. <br /><br />Finally, this example shows how local initiatives can anticipate state initiatives particularly in the field of local partnership. In that case, partnership can be identify in between different local or extra-local authorities, in different fields, between different economic and social organisations.
