Dysfunctions and Sub-optimal Behaviours of Rural Development Networks

Carmelo Cannarella

Valeria Piccioni

Carmelo Cannarella and Valeria Piccioni are at the National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Chemical Methods, Italy.

This article describes the dynamics and impacts of local territorial networks' on the base of the articulation of some examples of varieties of well known pathologies in social systems adjusted to the peculiarities of these local networks. The potential capability of these pathologies to create profound effects in inhibiting link formation, to turn positive links into ineffective or negative ones and to enhance the non-linear system behaviour and results, deeply influences the quality of interactions among network agents. The possibility of providing a correct diagnosis of these network pathologies could provide useful contributions to alerting about actual and potential possibilities of their occurring and in preventing a system collapse caused by a deterioration in the link value and in the eventual link losses.
