In this article the authors examine the impact of local development policies and their implementation in Calabria. Analyzing the literature on this subject that claims a sort of dualism between government and governance, the researchers try to explore the possible connections between both approaches. Using case studies the researchers support the thesis that local development policies have to necessarily take into account the specific nature and vocations of territories and they must succeed in activating several partners on specific projects according to a logic of multilevel governance.
