This work reports on the scientific literature related to territorial policies in Western Europe over the past decade, focusing on the management of territories through public programmes. The study emphasizes the institutional reforms of local governments and the need for comparative analysis of regional planning and development policies, particularly in Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. It highlights the historical development of regional policies in Spain, particularly the impact of political transitions and European integration, and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to enhance understanding of central-local relations.
