“…The broader historical account of in‐migration to rural Scotland most especially as reflective of counter‐urbanisation (Stockdale et al . ; Stockdale ) is one of problematic tensions (Jedrej and Nuttall ) and we again note Halfacree and Rivera's (2012) preference for the term ‘pro‐rural’ migration as reflective of the multi‐layered ‘entangled’ aspects to rural migration. Remote and fragile communities of Scotland share experiences of rural areas elsewhere in the UK and Europe where communities face considerable challenges attributed to in‐migration such as house price inflation (Shucksmith ), gentrification (Phillips ; Stockdale ) and minority language decline (Nic Craith ).…”

Recent research and active promotion suggests that islands and remote rural locations in Scotland do offer ‘attractive places to live and work’. The purpose of this article is to explore the narratives of cultural workers, and to derive from this a further nuanced appreciation of what in‐migrants to islands might express as meaningful in reference to an idea of ‘locating narratives’. We look at how the narratives vary depending upon the connection and identity the cultural workers each articulate. The narratives or social stories the participants tell contribute to our understanding of in‐migrants' experiences on remote islands. This research offers a timely contribution to debates on how we might better understand ‘good work’ in terms of decisions to locate on islands, as nuanced through cultural work identities.

“…The so‐called 'globalization of mobility' (Woods ), does not so much refer to the creation of new structures as to the multiplication, intensification and stretching of existing networks and processes. We see a complex relationship between mobilities, the dynamics of rural place (Milbourne and Kitchen ; Stockdale ; Gkartzios et al ) and the rural‐urban interface (Gkartzios ). To capture this complexity, we deploy the term ‘rural cosmopolitanism’, which refers to the articulation of cosmopolitan dispositions and practices as attributes of individuals and communities within rural society (Popke ; Woods ); thus we refer both to rural places/ territories and social groups within those territories.…”

Reassembling the Rural: Socio‐Economic Dynamics, Inequalities and Resilience in Crisis‐Stricken Rural Greece

Rural areas are places where various social groups live either permanently or seasonally. The mobilities and immobilities of these groups are related to their differential resources. The vast impact of the financial crisis on Greece relates to the major decline of its GDP and enormous increase in unemployment. The article aims to shed light on the complexities of social marginalisation and social exclusion in rural Greece, but also, and more importantly, to theorise the coping mechanisms and strategies by those affected and build upon the experiences of rural areas during the prolonged economic crisis. Population dynamics and the various social and spatial mobilities in rural areas provide the baseline for tracing rural complexities and theorising the emergent coping strategies. The concepts of rural cosmopolitanism and resilience are used to unpack the complexities of marginalisation and social exclusion in rural Greece. A brief reference to the statistical data resolves the apparent controversies related to the changing regional and local geography of poverty and social exclusion in Greece during the crisis. The more focused empirical findings, illustrated in the form of two island areas, illustrate the various coping mechanisms and strategies that are emerging in rural Greece.

“…Recession effects on population attributes have been extensively investigated in wealthy countries (Palloni & Tienda, ; Falagas, Vouloumanou, Mavros, & Karageorgopoulos, ; Luo, Florence, Quispe‐Agnoli, Ouyang, & Crosby, ; Stockdale, ), and qualitative analyses have documented impacts on population trends in many cases (e.g., Lesthaeghe & Nieder, ). A review of the impact of economic fluctuations on demographic factors suggests that increases in mortality and decreases in fertility are differently responsible for population loss in times of economic stagnation (Caldwell, ); these effects add to long‐term trends, typical of the second demographic transition.…”

Recessions have traditionally influenced population dynamics, leading to increasing social disparities and a polarised distribution of economic activities. This study identifies differences in short‐term demographic trends before and during the 2007 recession in a metropolitan area of southern Europe. Using vital statistics, indicators were calculated over two distinct time intervals representative of expansion (2000–2007) and recession (2008–2014) waves in Athens, Greece, at the spatial scale of municipalities. Local‐scale changes in population dynamics were considered key indicators to evaluate the crisis' impact on recent urban transformations. Demographic polarisations in urban and rural areas have progressively increased the gap between wealthy and economically disadvantaged districts. In Athens, short‐term population dynamics were influenced by a combination of socioeconomic factors and processes acting at different spatial scales due to suburbanisation, recession, and demographic transition. As a result, the use of nonlinear analysis proves to be a useful tool to investigate urban systems in their complexity and supports the debate over the future development of contemporary cities.
