Eastern European Rurality in a Neo‐Liberal, European Union World

Abstract: The article first argues that we live in a neo‐liberal world in that neo‐liberalism has become the economic orthodoxy which informs policy‐making, but that the commitment of the European Union and its Common Agricultural Policy to neo‐liberalism is somewhat ambiguous. It then examines the impact of that ambiguous Common Agricultural Policy on Eastern European rurality in the decade or so since the New Member States joined. In many respects it has resulted in scenarios similar to developments in western Europe,… Show more

“…The result of centralperipheral relations is the retardation of the periphery. Periphery is seen as the place of constant conservatism and passivity, an unattractive place to live and an occupation with business (Daugirdas and Burneika, 2008;Krugman, 2010;Raagmaa, 2003, Swain, 2016.
