Are you living in a place where economic development is not as dynamic as it should be? Where people are looking for jobs? Where many persons are desperate for more income, but there seems to be no opportunity to earn it?

So what are you going to do about it? Are you going to wait for the promised effects of globalization and liberalization to trickle down? Or will you wait for central government to solve your problems? Or are you going to take things into your own hands, or to persuade other local actors to go along? If you are opting for the latter, you might find an interesting idea or two behind this portal.

What do you need:

• an idea of what Local Economic Development is about
• a systematic introduction to Local Economic Development
• a list of catchwords on issues and instruments of Local Economic Development
