Abstract:

Local elected officials in practice exercise political leadership by their involvement in partnerships and their status on the local co-operation scene. The implementation of the LEADER programme, in terms of project selection, reveals that this political leadership has taken over this model of local development, which it sees as an instrument for updating public amenities and services and a source of legitimacy for its action. The configuration of local action groups is examined via the membership of the partnerships and analysis of networks of stakeholders, on the basis of empirical research.
