Since the 1990s, a number of nationwide and publicly\-funded pilot schemes have experimented with innovative approaches for the long\-term transformation of the way public services and infrastructure are provided in the countryside. Nevertheless, the continuity of these approaches often turns out to be problematic. This paper analyses a series of pilot schemes as instruments for territorial development and presents new findings at multiple levels for enhancing their performance."]
