Abstract

That territories in the same country show diverse responses to the same or similar policy interventions suggests there are factors, both socially constructed and natural, that are not randomly distributed across space, which have territorially specific effects on development outcomes. This article introduces a special issue that reports findings from the Rural Territories Dynamics program where research was to identify such conditions of territory, and to understand how, through interactions with “extraterritorial” processes, these conditions drive patterns of rural change across Latin America. Collectives and community action can mean access to the kind of power that can shape more inclusive development.
