Integrating Amartya Sen's approach with the literature on place-based territorial development processes, this book recognises the interplay between the evolution of local development systems and the expansion of individual and collective capabilities.

Today, the global debate on development is at a crucial turning point. Discussions on post-2015 processes with the UN as well as on the reform of the EU Cohesion Policy, interact with a heterogeneous combination of diffused global instability and social unrest, long-standing recessions and extraordinary growth processes, together with increasing concentration of economic activity, wealth and power. Within this scenario, the authors stress the importance of dealing with economic competitiveness, social inclusion, environmental protection and poverty reduction at the local level, recognizing the interplay between the evolution of local development systems and the expansion of individual and collective capabilities. Blending Amartya Sen's people-centred and opportunity-oriented Capability Approach with the literature on place-based local development processes, this book helps understanding multidimensional paths of local change within a Sustainable Human Development perspective and analyzing what means are available to enable human flourishing.

Les enfants ne sont plus de simples bénéficiaires de mesures de protection, mais plutôt des sujets de droits et des participants aux actions les affectant. Cela implique un changement dans l'approche envers les enfants vulnérables dans la recherche et les politiques. Cet article explore la pauvreté des enfants de la rue à Kampala (Ouganda), à travers la combinaison de l'approche innovante des capabilités proposée par Amartya Sen et les méthodes participatives.
