l'objectif de cet article est d'étudier la relation entre la pauvreté rurale et la gouvernance locale tout en mettant l'accent sur l'importance de l'articulation entre l'agriculture et l'industrie. Notre étude empirique porte sur le cas de la Tunisie sur une période s'étalant de 1990 à 2010. Les résultats d'estimation montrent qu'une réduction de la pauvreté rurale est atteinte par amélioration de la gouvernance locale et une relation de complémentarité entre l'agriculture et l'industrie.
