Abstract

The volume is an updating of two previous books, published in 1993 and in 1998, and presents a revaluation of the perspectives and the opportunities, not only economic, which the province of Sondrio has at the beginning of the Third Millennium. The numerous, and with different scientific backgrounds, authors who have contributed to the volume concluded their researches pointing out the awareness of considering the local economic and social identity while promoting processes of local development. Further on, this identity has to be joint to a strong innovation capacity, which can implement the development of new enterprises. The volume contains an analysis both of the actual economic situation of the valley and the auto-centred development potential based on the local environment (formed by natural, cultural and artistic resources). The guiding concept of the whole volume consists in the convinction that the real development of a community can emerge only from the link between the local historical, cultural and social identity with innovation, which has to be not only economic but also socio-cultural. The instrument for this operation is the definition and application of a “Community Statute” based on Cooperation, Condivision, Subsidiarity, Development and Solidarity: a strong and innovative ‘social project’. This idea can be applied and transferred to other mountain regions and it could be a very significant cultural and institutional innovation. The methodology adopted is inter and transdisciplinar and it has an innovation potential that consists in the demonstration that even a utopic idea can be achieved. This aspect is very relevant in the field of good governance (Q5.Q6).
