Abstract

Summary. — During the period of high economic growth of the 50ies and the 60 ies, the policies of the different alpin countries in favour of their mountain regions have essentially aimed at promoting a development model, based on the specialization of activities, the competitivity on large markets, the implementation of some leading projects and sophisticated technologies. These policies have generated an economic growth in the mountain regions, that has however involved some lacks of balance between the economic sectors and the regions. The current economic crisis requires the implementation of a global development strategy, based on the valorization of all local ressources, the creation of regional economic connections and the search of the greatest economic autonomy. For a few years, self-reliant development projects have been increasing in all alpin countries. However, they will involve a process of global development on the only condition that they are helped by public authorities, integrated in global regional development schemes and accompanied by the various sectoral policies having an influence on regional development.
