The new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) proposal includes few improvements compared to previous programming periods which may reinforce future evaluation, but we can also observe elements that may weaken the assessment, with the risk of repeating past failures. The objective of this essay is to analyse the new framework proposed for evaluation in the future CAP and to promote a collective discussion on how to make evaluations more usable, useful and reliable for users and practitioners. The first part of the paper analyses the main elements of evaluation during the different rural development programming cycles. A second part is dedicated to an examination of the current programming period (2014–2020) and the implications of the introduction of the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) and the evaluation plan. In a third part, we critically discuss the proposals for the next programming period and we offer some concluding reflections and two main open questions. From the analyses carried out, many elements emerge to encourage discussion on the role that evaluation has played and can play and the critical points to face. The experiences in rural development policies have introduced important changes in theoretical and implementation terms. In particular, they helped to build evaluation capacity and enabled the involvement of the civil society. However, it is also clear that the European Commission (EC) designed path has often led to an increase in rigidity and orthodoxy towards common frameworks compliance.

Radical changes in the domestic economy, structural changes associated with the development of market relations, have contributed to the introduction of information technology, which has significantly changed the conditions of enterprises in various industries. This poses new challenges for companies - to seek effective development strategies aimed not only at implementing social functions, but also to find effective mechanisms for management decisions. Regarding the theoretical and methodological principles and areas of management R. Fatkhudtinov proposed an alternative classification of approaches [289]: complex, integration, marketing, functional, dynamic, reproducible, normative. But their separate practical use is impractical. It is necessary to integrate them into established approaches to enterprise management and management decisions. F. Taylor is considered to be the founder of the concept of scientific management [274]. He was the first to conclude that management work is a specialty and that an organization will benefit if each group of employees does the job it can best do. At the same time, the world of industrial production became an arena of rapid change. These and other factors have led management representatives to become more aware of the existence of external factors in relation to the organization. For this purpose, new approaches to the study of management science and practice were developed: system, process, resource, situational approach, and the result of scientific research of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of management theory and practice was the emergence of synergetic and reflective approach. At the heart of the systems (cybernetic) approach, there is an assumption that any system (object) is a set of interconnected elements that has an input, output, communication with the external environment and feedback. The development of a systems approach, which gives the specialist new opportunities for the study of management, today is a synergetic approach. The given analytical review of the basic approaches to management and acceptance of administrative decisions in economic systems has shown, that there is no uniform generally accepted theory of management. Moreover, there is an increasing differentiation of research on management problems. At the same time, the tendency of mutual integration of different schools and directions on the basis of separate common concepts is clearly manifested.

Are there observable systematic forces that encourage or discourage participation by individuals, departments and colleges in cooperative multi-state, multi-university research and extension rural development work? A better understanding of these forces could lead to recommendations for improved management strategies.

The effectiveness of support directed to less developed regions is a timely question more than halfway through the 2014–2020 programming period. We present an analysis of the impact of rural development support on the well-being of Hungarian LAU1 regions between 2008 and 2013. The aim was to measure the overall impact of all of the Rural Development Funds, covering all measures within the program. Two indices of local well-being were used: the multi-dimensional, local-variables-based Regional Development Index that measures the overall level of regional development and a simple, migration-based index as a proxy for perceived quality of life. Generalized propensity score matching, and difference-in-differences estimation techniques were employed to evaluate the impact of subsidies. Irrespective of how the amount of support was calculated, the measure of local well-being, or the methodology employed, the impact was not significant, and was sometimes even negative. This casts doubt on the effectiveness of Rural Development Policy in Hungary.

For the period 2007–2013 LEADER became the fourth axis of rural development policy. One of the main characteristics of LEADER is that it adopts a bottom-up approach. Local Action Groups (LAGs) have to define and implement area-based local development strategies (LDSs). In this paper, we examine the relationship between variety in the LDSs implemented by LAGs and employment safeguarding over the programming period 2007–2013 in Andalusia, the most populated region of Spain. Firstly, we construct several indicators to capture differences in the number of projects carried out, the grants awarded, the investments made and the safeguarded employment. Secondly, we carry out an exploratory factor analysis. We use cluster analysis to classify LAGs applying similar LDSs. The results obtained show that there is no ideal strategy for employment safeguarding and that spending high amounts of money in a few numbers of projects does not guarantee success. Thus, most LAGs do not show any clear specialisation pattern but obtain moderate results in terms of employment safeguarding. This supports the idea that LAGs need to have sufficient flexibility to find a balance among the different objectives of the rural development policy and to translate this balance into the funding of projects.

AbstractCultural heritage can play a very important role in local and regional development with economic and social effects. The European Union (EU) outlined a specific measure that is aimed at the protection and development of rural heritage within rural development policy in the programming period of 2007–2013. The main aim of this paper is to assess economic and social impacts of projects supported by EU Rural Policy in the Czech Republic during the period of 2007–2013. The implemented projects were located mainly in peripheral rural areas, both near to borders and in inner peripheries, which means that the measure was geographically well targeted. The results of the measure contribute to the restoration and reconstruction of historical monuments, churches, cemeteries and small sacral monuments which create an environment in rural settlements. This environment is very important for the community life and strengthening local identity. In the field of economic development, the results of this measure demonstrate only limited effects in supported villages.
