프랑스 지역개발정책의 변천과 농촌 개발정책의 제유형 = The Evolution of the Regional Development Policy and Types of the Rural Development Policies in France

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine France`s regional development policy in terms of rural development since the end of World War II. Following decentralization in 1982, France`s regional and rural development policies have been focused on the interrelated actions of government, local authorities and European authorities. The aim of their works was to extend the dispersal of industrial activities to the reorganization of the rural space. The rural development policies aimed to the agricultural modernization in the 1950s have differed in their goals, methods, and implements. France`s regional and rural development clearly illustrates the key role played by the government despite the decentralization and the challenges of the europeanization leering to a unique market of European nations. This reinforces the fad that the government is instrumental in organizing population distribution and regulating regional decision centers to harmonize both national objectives and local authorities` concerns. The French experience will be helpful as reference in the field of regional and rural development for Korea which has recently begun decentralizing.
