The work aims to study the causes of an economic crisis from a local perspectives.

Abstract
The work aims to study the causes of an economic crisis from a local perspectives. In particular, it will focus on Reggio Calabria territory to analyze how the economic and social factors have influenced the present condition of this area. At the same time, the paper proposes a model for the growth of Reggio Calabria’ system, starting from the mentioned factors. We will follow an integrated systemic approach to verify, with the support of statistical data, why the crisis in Reggio Calabria has had a low impact in comparison with the rest of the world. The final analysis of the research is to propose a method for mapping the cause-effect relationships for the development of a territory, through the DPSIR-model (determinants, pressures, state, impact, response).The systems approach allows us to analyze: 1. the result of the development model, 2. relationships which are the basis of the model. Every economic analysis after the crises of 2008 and 2011 has been considered as a reflection of the U.S. financial crisis. The global economic system revealed that elements of great crisis have as consequences the decline in domestic consumption and general recession. In other words, the results of these last four years of the global crisis had an impact on families’ lifestyle, spending behaviour of companies, interaction between institutions and organizations. Household debt, company recourse to the use of credit leverage for managing current expenses, slowdown in public spending, are just some of the repercussions. Reggio Calabria, unlike, has exogenous factors, that had impacted on the proposed development model. The difficulties of the socio-economic system in the investigated area has structural imbalances that were not evolved in the global crisis. It means that the economic model of the province was not affected by global events. For the productive system, we recognized the imbalances inherent in the model of development, that depend on the level of consumer demand and much less on the intrinsic competitiveness from the supply system. In the conclusion, we present a development business model based on the conditions of the local context to emphasize how these conditions could be considered fundamental for the growth of a territory even in a global market crisis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
