Yerel Ekonomik Kalkınma ve Uluslararası Organizasyonlar

1980’li yıllardan itibaren globalleşme eğiliminin hız kazanması neticesinde geleneksel kalkınma uygulamalarına duyulan güven sarsılmaya başlamış, böylece yerel ekonomik kalkınma yaklaşımı ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, bu yaklaşım irdelendikten sonra Uluslararası İşgücü Ofisi, Avrupa Birliği ile Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü gibi uluslararası organizasyonlar aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilen yerel ekonomik kalkınma deneyimleri karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu uygulamaların ortak özelliği; yerel inisiyatif, katılım ve işbirliğine önem vermesi, entegre, adem-i merkeziyetçi ve yenilikçi bir yapı sergilemesidir.

Local Economic Development Approach and International Organizations

Belief in traditional economic development practices has started to be breached as a result of the accelaration of globalization tendency since 1980s, thus making local economic development approach subject matter. In this study, after having this approach been dealt with, local economic development experiences carried out by such international organizations as the International Labor Office, the European Union and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development are comparatively examined. The common features of these practices are their appreciation of local initiatives, participation and cooperation, and having an integrated, decentralized and innovative structure.
