Rural development is seen as process of organization and integral modification of factors that interact within determined locations and territories and which directly or indirectly affect the cultural, environmental, economic and social aspects of the inhabitants themselves and the life of each rural area. Its conceptualization and the scope of public policies unfolding in its favor have gone through many focuses and applications with a common denominator: the sectoral character standing out against all other aspects. Today, the strategies and actions to make rural life relevant in the Latin American countries should be centered on efforts to combine a development focus from the viewpoint that the territory is the subject of political and institutional action. In this way, the establishment of a new pro-active institutionalism will be promoted to benefit the countryside and the people who live in it.

Keywords : territorial development; rural development; micro-regions; new institutionalism; systemic competitiveness.
