ALCANTARA, Rita. Governance as a model of territorial management: the case of the Douro wine region. Finisterra [online]. 2017, n.106, pp.129-148. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/Finis10486.

The demarcated wine-producing region of Douro, in Portugal, is considered to be one of the world’s oldest in the business of wine regulation. The objective of this paper is to study how it is governed, its agents and the (dis)articulation of powers that organize the space. In theoretical terms, the nature of this governance is analysed from an institutionalist approach, through specific Portuguese public policies for the sector with the support of a literature review, interviews and field research. It concludes that the governance model of wine production in Douro is incomplete as it only involves two actors: the state and the private sector

Palabras clave : Governance; institutions; public policy; economics of wine; organization of space.
