520 | 3 | _aThis book, consisting of 24 chapters, draws upon selected, revised, and edited papers from the 5th British-American Rural Geography Symposium held in Devon in July 2003. It focuses on rural regions in the UK, the USA, and Canada that are facing conflicting demands, pressures and challenges, having far-reaching implications for rural space and society. The contributions are grouped under four themes: agricultural responses; environmental issues; communities; and governance. The chapters in the agriculture section illustrate how productivism has responded to and survived changes in world markets and pressures for greater environmental sustainability. In the environment section, two themes emerge: the emergence and evolution of public policies to encourage environmental protection; and the vulnerability and sustainability of rural communities in light of emerging environmental hazards and changes. All the chapters in the third section show that rural communities are continuing to experience profound social, economic and demographic change. The chapters in the last section focuses on new forms of governance that blend and empower actors from the public, private and voluntary sectors. They show that the rhetoric of community and locality-based participation is emerging in the way decisions are made about rural places. The book has a subject index. | |
