| Description: | Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of leading experts, this book examines the position of rural social and cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century and suggests new agendas in the study of changing social and cultural geographies of rurality in ''developed'' or ''Western'' countries. It offers critical evaluations of theoretical positions and advances, introduces new conceptual and methodological tools and reports on recent empirical work from the UK, New Zealand, Denmark, France, Australia, USA and Ireland on aspects of rural change. The last decade or so has witnessed a flourishing of research in rural geography; in particular, approaches which have developed socio-cultural perspectives on rural issues. This book brings together well-established and newer researchers to examine the position of rural social and cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century and to suggest new research agendas. It offers critical evaluations of theoretical positions and advances, introduces new conceptual and methodological tools and reports on recent empirical work on a variety of topical issues in a number of countries. With diverse theoretical and empirical content, the book makes a valuable contribution to the development of research into changing social and cultural geographies of rurality in ''developed'' or ''Western'' countries. |
