Abstract

Nowadays, development has become a natural part of our lives, the dynamics and types of which are the only things we tend to highlight and compare. This is why it may seem unusual that science has identified an anomaly in certain territorial units where there is a lack of development. This situation has been called the development trap. The development of an area is, of course, dependent on a great many factors, so that the range of development traps seems almost inexhaustible. This paper takes stock of the development traps identified so far, not with the aim of questioning the methods used, but to evaluate the data and indicators used to identify them. The study concludes that macro-level data are not causes but consequences, masking the true root causes of problems, but they play an important role in establishing a diagnosis at the regional level. The study aims to provide a convincing illustration, using concrete examples, of the development policy approach - and its main features - that can help to overcome the various pitfalls.
