In April 1975, indigenous youth in Mexico occupied regional development centers throughout the southern state of Oaxaca. From the Sierra Sur town of Miahuatlán, to the arid highlands of the Mixteca Alta, to the valley of the Papaloapan Dam project, these youth took control of Instituto Nacional Indigenista (INI) coordinating centers and held them for more than a month. Trained aspromotores bilingües(bilingual agents of education and development projects) by a separate regional development agency (the Instituto de Investigación y Integración Social del Estado de Oaxaca, or IIISEO), they demanded professional training and the creation of positions for themselves as federal teachers. Their banners accused the Mexican government of ethnocide against native peoples, denouncing the government's celebration of indigenous culture as a mask for continued exploitation.

The purpose of this work is to identify some issues of current sustainable development process in polyethnic border regions of Ukraine. The need to involve various domestic stakeholders (like local, regional and national authorities, businesses, households, education and research institutions, NGOs, regional development agencies) and representatives from neighboring countries in elaboration and implementation of sustainable development programs in border regions is substantiated. Conducted survey helped to identify the position of local NGOs representatives, involved into the different regional development projects, about the priority directions of sustainable development and obstacles for their realization in the polyethnic region. Certain peculiarities of sustainable development related to regional polyethnicity have been identified during the survey. Certain ways to increase the involvement of various ethnic groups in process of sustainable development in border regions have been proposed.

This concluding section briefly traces the shift in approaches to regional development that took place under Brazil’s military dictatorship during the late 1960s and 1970s, with increased focus on urban industrialization and reduced interest in smallholder irrigated farming. Critical perspectives on approaches to northeast development during and after the dictatorship, from Brazilian academics and intellectuals like Celso Furtado—first director of SUDENE (the Superintendencia de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste)—and others are emphasized. The book ends by evaluating the limits of technocratic solutions to problems rooted in social and political organization—of which drought in northeast Brazil is an exemplar—with reference to similar development projects elsewhere in the world.

The aim of the paper is to verify whether there is an increase in the amount of investment costs in regional development projects between the time of decision and completion of implementation. This assumption was not confirmed in the evaluated set of 911 projects implemented with the support from the Regional Operational Programme South-East in 2008-2015 in the South Moravian Region and the Vysočina Region. The average difference in investment costs is -3.7%, it means decrease of the investment costs. In terms of the identification of causes, only a slight dependence on the length of implementation was documented. Dependence on investment volume for projects up to CZK 100.0 million was not confirmed. The largest increase in investment costs was documented for projects implemented by the private sector (average increase in investment costs by 17%). A likely cause is the effort of the private sector to maximize the use of subsidies.
