Abstract
The territorial effects that have the Rural Development Programmes in Southern Europe, in the region of Andalusia (Spain) have been varied. Based on the maximum level of disaggregation of the approved projects under the LEADER and PRODER initiatives, it has been analized a set of synthetic variables at the project level, municipalities and local action groups in order to assess to what extent have performed such programmes to the development of the most disadvantaged areas of the region, or in the opposite way, have increased the pre)existing differences.The investigation has revealed in the region of Andalusia that most of the initiatives have focused on the most dynamic areas, the most populated, in which there was a business sector that has been able to take advantage of access to european funding, which has reinforced its leadership role against the most depressed areas with little social and business capital.

Si partimos de la base de que a mayor número de proyectos ejecutados mayor dinamismo económico, no cabe duda de que son los municipios situados en lo que hemos denominado como “eje del Guadalquivir” los que presentan las cifras más altas
Summary
La Iniciativa Comunitaria LEADER (Liaisons Entre Actions de Developpement de lÉconomie Rurale) es el programa emblemático dentro de la política de desarrollo rural de la Unión Europea, a pesar de su modesta aportación de recursos financieros. Esta iniciativa está basada en los siguientes principios: enfoque ascendente, participación en la toma de decisiones, paternariados público-privados que constituyen Grupos de Desarrollo Rural (GDR), cooperación interterritorial, desarrollo rural integrado, utilización de los recursos endógenos y perspectiva territorial, promoción de la innovación y, por último, diversificación económica. Se asiste también a una necesidad de replanteamiento de las relaciones entre lo rural y lo urbano, de lo recomendable de incluir las market towns en las áreas LEADER y en los proyectos derivados de esta iniciativa por la gran interdependencia que poseen con sus territorios rurales cercanos (Bosworth et al, 2015), y que conlleva una cooperación entre áreas rurales y urbanas. Y por último, la necesidad de reconsiderar por parte de los PDR las disparidades y diversidades intrarrurales (Saraceno, 2013)
