%X Our paper provides several insights on the characteristics of the concept of ¡°Poles d¡¯Excellence Rurale¡± (PER) through bilateral comparisons with that of Competitive Pole (CP) and cluster. The concept of PER is a French government¡¯ initiative designed for the development of rural areas similar to that of the Competitive Pole. We emphasize important particularities of these concepts by analyzing some of their similarities and major differences.
