Responding to this trend the importance of wider rural economic development is recently stressed out within the CAP, mainly by the support of non-agricultural activities in rural areas and non-agricultural actors involved in the economic development process. This study deals with the evaluation of rural employment creation strategies of selected member states or regions within them. We did this by analysing the degree of rurality, labour market characteristics and chosen agricultural sector characteristics. We applied the cluster analysis and compared clusters in chosen indicators in within and in between. Our study highlights the fact that specific settings of individual Rural Development Programmes of member states and regions related to rural employment creation correspond to the level of their development and the respective needs of agribusiness and rural areas. In general, within clusters we noticed great heterogenity of indicators used for the explanation of employment creation approach. We conclude that for the full explanation of policy settings of rural employment creation, we need to consider also the influence of unobservable factors, e.g. political lobby."}},{"node":{"title":"Changing structure of rural areas: the socio-economic characteristics of non-farming population in Poland","slug":"changing-structure-of-rural-areas-the-socio-economic-characteristics-of-non-farmi","author":[{"name":"Paweł Chmieliński"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":27,"pageTo":34,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483326-2014-rad-11-02-chmielinski.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-02-CHMIELIŃSKI"},"abstract":"Non-farming population represents an increasingly significant group of rural residents and therefore became an important object of study. The paper is primarily focused on the description of the non-farming rural population. The main source of the analysed data were surveys of families residing in 76 villages across Poland. The sampling of villages for the surveys was purposeful and representative, based on socio-economic features of the population and the land structure. Research shows that as many as 60% of rural families own no agricultural land in 2011 and on the basis of the analysis of socio-economic development observed in rural areas, it may be assumed that the non-farming rural population will grow further and that this socio-occupational category will increasingly de- termine the socio-economic development of rural areas."}},{"node":{"title":"Standards of rural municipalities in the Czech Republic and comparison with rural municipalities in Austria","slug":"standards-of-rural-municipalities-in-the-czech-republic-and-comparison-with-rural","author":[{"name":"Marie Trantinová"},{"name":"Pavel Kotrla"},{"name":"Kamil Plaček"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":35,"pageTo":56,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483327-2014-rad-11-03-trantinova.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-03-TRANTINOVA"},"abstract":"This study was done on the request of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA CR).

With regard to the risk management policy new regulations allow every member state to establish subsidized agricultural insurance scheme and incorporate it into the European Union Rural Development Policy (RDP). In this paper, financial consequences of implementation Income Stabilisation Tools (IST) will be evaluated. IST is one of three new instruments in RDP supporting agricultural insurance. Farmers’ income risk reduction and minimum insurance premium is assessed on the basis of data collected by Farm Accountancy Data Network. The analysis is preceded by presentation of theoretical background and major problems of global and Polish agricultural insurance market. Some disadvantages of currently used traditional agricultural production insurance schemes are also presented in the paper."}},{"node":{"title":"European guidelines for the institutional frameworks of agrarian development in Ukraine","slug":"european-guidelines-for-the-institutional-frameworks-of-agrarian-development-in-u","author":[{"name":"Olena Borodina"},{"name":"Sergii Kyryzyuk"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":73,"pageTo":84,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483329-2014-rad-11-05-borodina.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-05-BORODINA"},"abstract":"Transformation of the economy in Ukraine since its independence took place fast enough. However, the former communist system had a powerful influence on market mechanisms. As a result, the effectiveness of their actions did not justify expectations, because the market mechanisms could not provide equal opportunities for the development of different economic units, especially for agricultural producers. As a consequence, nowadays Ukrainian agriculture has a dual structure with the high developed corporate and the low commercial individual sectors.\nThe present paper is based on the rural development concept which explores agriculture and rural area regarding the requirement of economic, ecological and social balance. The paper investigates the development of agriculture and institutional environment in Ukraine. It has been established that Ukrainian agrarian policy contributed to the development of corporate agrarian holdings, which don’t satisfy the social and the ecological purposes of agrarian and rural development while individual agricultural producers, which are provided the national food security, survive in unfavorable institutional environment and conditions of large capital market power.\nThe main conclusion of this study is that the rural development policy requires not only to create effective institutions but also to change Ukrainian society understanding of their nature.\n"}},{"node":{"title":"Competitiveness of the Romanian extra-European agri-food trade","slug":"competitiveness-of-the-romanian-extra-european-agri-food-trade","author":[{"name":"Camelia Gavrilescu"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":87,"pageTo":101,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483330-2014-rad-11-06-gavrilescu.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-06-GAVRILESCU"},"abstract":"Romania’s accession to the EU meant a significant increase in both the volume and value of the Romanian agrifood trade, and a continuation and increase of the trade flows with the EU. On the other hand, although joining   the Single Market meant the discontinuation of the free trade agreements that have been in force for the last 15 years with Republic of Moldova, Turkey, Israel, AELS etc., Romania kept its traditional extra-EU partners, under the new rules. Since the EU is the world largest agrifood products exporter, the present paper is analyzing the position of Romania among the other EU member countries in terms of values, quantities and directions.

Data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry clearly show that most enterprises in Kosovo are of micro, small and medium size and the problems they face fall into two categories: the first one is to determine if they can participate in production for local and regional markets or do they remain excluded? And the second one is related to the fact that our economy is facing high levels of trade deficit, which continues to have a negative impact on economic growth, and because our SMEs are mainly based on trade and services, they have limited capacities to create added value to the economy and generate new jobs.\nIn addition to addressing the questions, the paper tries to provide a thorough  explanation of ways of enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs in rural areas of Kosovo based on the field study, research reports, country strategies and views of several scholars. Recent studies have proved the relation and impact of SMEs in the development of rural areas.\nThe paper is divided into three sections and ends with a conclusion. The first section reviews the different usage of the terms SMEs from different theories and dimensions.\nThe second section deals with the results of 308 interviews randomly conducted all around Kosovo. In addition the questionnaire was prepared and tested in advance in order to avoid any useless questions, and to provide information regarding the types, reasons, and the problems that the SMEs are facing.\nThe paper concludes with some personal reflections and conclusions drawn on this topic."}},{"node":{"title":"National Rural Networks Lessons for policy formation and implementation within the CAP post 2013","slug":"national-rural-networks-lessons-for-policy-formation-and-implementation-within-th","author":[{"name":"Doris Marquardt"},{"name":"Carmen Hubbard"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":145,"pageTo":163,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483333-2014-rad-11-10-marquardt.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-10-MARQUARDT"},"abstract":"I National Rural Networks (NRNs) have been introduced as a new policy intervention under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in the period 2007-2013. Major tasks ascribed to the NRNs are: transferring information on rural development measures to rural stakeholders, identifying good practices, and organising exchange of expertise and know-how. Classified as Technical Assistance, the NRNs are expected to increase the effectiveness of the EAFRD and to contribute to the improvement of policy delivery and governance. However, neither a common intervention logic nor an evaluation system has been established for the NRNs. This paper examines the NRNs’ potential for added value creation and for achieving their objectives of improving policy delivery and governance. Special attention is devoted to the NRN in the post-socialist new member state Romania with little experiences in EU policies. The NRNs have so far raised hardly any scientific interest making empirical work essential for approaching our research objectives. Besides outlining the networks’ theoretical potential from the literature, practical experiences with the NRNs were gained from surveys amongst network units across the EU and Romanian network members in 2010. Results allow for drawing an intervention logic underlying the instrumental idea of the NRNs, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in implementation, and providing lessons against which the legislative proposals for the Common Agricultural Policies post 2013 are discussed."}},{"node":{"title":"Innovation Opportunities in Hungarian Rural Development","slug":"innovation-opportunities-in-hungarian-rural-development","author":[{"name":"Szabolcs Biró"}],"volume":{"name":"Volume 11","year":2014,"no":11,"title":"Rural transformations under Common Agricultural Policy 2007-2013 and future development","editor":[{"name":"Dan Marius Voicilas"},{"name":"Monica Mihaela Tudor"}],"slug":"volume-11"},"pageFrom":165,"pageTo":172,"pdf":{"url":"https://www.datocms-assets.com/20305/1580483334-2014-rad-11-11-biro.pdf","title":"2014-RAD-11-11-BIRO"},"abstract":"Acquiring new knowledge and competences is crucial in the success  of individuals, enterprises, regions and countries, since knowledge may become obsolete very quickly. Besides technological development, innovation can be characterised by well organised, risk reducing systems and networks. Innovation in Hungarian rural development with the establishment of a knowledge-based, competitive and successful rural economy is crucial. In Hungarian agriculture and rural development the market based innovation system building on endogenous resources is not operating. The innovation chain is narrow and underdeveloped, the majority of the innovations implemented in rural areas are small-scale and – without knowledge, equity and business relationships – are not viable. Agricultural innovation development is the primary area of intervention to boost the competitiveness and value added of farms and food processing enterprises, the utilisation of renewable resources and ICT development.
