Territorial Cohesion in Rural Europe
Author: Andrew Copus
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135130973
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
This book reflects on how the economies, social characteristics, ways of life and global relationships of rural areas of Europe have changed in recent years. This reveals a need to refresh the concepts we use to understand, measure and describe rural communities and their development potential. This book argues that Europe has 'outgrown' many of the stereotypes usually associated with it, with substantial implications for European Rural Policy. Rural structural change and its evolving geography are portrayed through regional typologies and the concept of the New Rural Economy. Demographic change, migration, business networks and agricultural restructuring are each explored in greater detail. Implications for equality and social exclusion, and recent developments in the field of governance are also considered. Despite being a subject of active debate, interventions in the fields of rural and regional development have failed to adapt to changing realities and have become increasingly polarized. This book argues that rural/regional policy needs to evolve in order to address the current complex reality, partially reformulating territorial or place-based approaches, and the New Rural Paradigm, following a set of principles termed ‘Rural Cohesion Policy’.

Towards Sustainable Rural Regions in Europe
Author: John M. Bryden
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1136829091
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
This book presents the methodology and results of a three-year, eleven-country science-to-policy research project – Toward a Policy Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development – undertaken between 2005 and 2008 and financed under the European Union's Sixth Framework program. It deals with an important contemporary policy issue: how best to ensure that an agriculturally-based policy can contribute to the development of rural regions. It tackles this problem in a number of different but complementary ways, primarily by the development of a unique and innovative dynamic systems model, POMMARD (a Policy Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development).

2019 Global food policy report
Author: International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN: 0896293505
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
IFPRI’s flagship report reviews the major food policy issues, developments, and decisions of 2018, and considers challenges and opportunities for 2019. This year’s Global Food Policy Report highlights the urgency of rural revitalization to address a growing crisis in rural areas. Rural people around the world continue to struggle with food insecurity, persistent poverty and inequality, and environmental degradation. Policies, institutions, and investments that take advantage of new opportunities and technologies, increase access to basic services, create more and better rural jobs, foster gender equality, and restore the environment can make rural areas vibrant and healthy places to live and work. Drawing on recent findings, IFPRI researchers and other distinguished food policy experts consider critical aspects of rural revitalization.

Processes of Immigration in Rural Europe
Author: Stefan Kordel
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781527506763
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Contemporary immigration processes, e.g. forced migration and labour induced mobility as well as lifestyle and leisure oriented movements increasingly affect areas in Europe that are considered as peripheral or rural. This edited collection sheds light to the diversity of in-migration, their specific implications for development and strategies to cope with. Contributions from various sub-disciplines of the social sciences, e.g., human and cultural geography, sociology and spatial planning with different regional foci, aim at encouraging theoretical discussions, enhancing empirical knowledge and providing stimuli for practitioners involved in migration and development issues. The structure of the volume therefore follows four main themes: (1) conceptual reflections on immigration to peripheral rural areas and development prospects; (2) patterns and types of immigration processes, drawing on various case studies from all over Europe; (3) realms of integration, i.e., housing, economy and social life; (4) immigration management with a special emphasis to regional and local strategies, undertaken by policy-makers, the private sector and civil society.
