“…Beckley and Krogman (2002) suggest that rapid social and economic change can be accompanied by a change in the nature of relationships among residents that can produce conflict and a decline in community cohesion. Conflict also arises over different conceptions, values, or opinions about the use and control over rural spaces (Halseth 1993(Halseth , 1998Reed 2008). Such conflicts can arise between newcomers and long-term residents (Cánoves et al 2004), between local groups such as farmers and foresters (Raedeke et al 2003), permanent versus seasonal residents (Hiltunen 2007;Pitkänen 2008;Pitkänen and Vepsäläinen 2008), or between supporters of different development strategies (and community destinies) such as tourism, agriculture, big-box retailers, or other industry options (Brennan and Lundsten 2000;Cawley 2010;Woods 2010).…”

Over the past 30 years, accelerating change has been one of the defining attributes of rural landscapes around the world. In response, there has been an increasing volume of rural economic development research and public/policy interest in that research. The purpose of this review article is not to provide a ‘state of the literature’ summary, but rather to highlight thematic directions, opportunities, and trends in the rural economic development literature over the past decade in industrialized economies. We review many of the longstanding research themes in rural economic development research: social and economic restructuring, barriers and challenges to economic development, community economic development, community capacity, governance, and policies and programs. We also explore a range of research issues that have (re‐) emerged over the past decade focusing on new approaches to understanding rural change and the deployment of development strategies in the context of the new rural economy.

“…All four papers have in common a concern for 'community' and how climate change has been framed and responded to locally (Molnar 2010). Furthermore the collection, whilst Editorial 147 predominantly constituted of renewable focused research, fathoms new avenues in this field and therefore reflects a 'diversity of protest' (Reed 2008). Each paper contests the normative and prescriptive approaches seen previously and instead seeks to explore community responses as they exist: socially, materially, and culturally (Woods 2009).…”

“…The failure of the 1980s 'farm crisis' in the USA to lead to an invigorated farmers' union or farm lobby, as opposed to commodity lobbies. The recent weakening of farmers' unions in Britain and other countries that long had relatively strong unions (Reed 2008). The continued inability of agrarian parties to make significant headway in national politics and the fading away of some recent attempts, like France's Chasse, pêche, nature et tradition Party and the Independent Smallholders' Party in Hungary (Woods 2008, p. 135).…”

Against the current moment of rural doubt, we argue that the material, symbolic and relational practices of the rural continue to be articulate aspects of our politics. We term the material practices 'rural power' and the symbolic practices 'the power of the rural'. The relational practices we term 'rural constituencies' when relations are bounded materially and 'constituencies of the rural' when they are bounded symbolically. We apply this framework to a critique of contemporary theory, especially mobilities research, which, we argue, typically speaks with a passive rural voice. We argue for recognising the active rural voice in the mobilisation and stabilisation of the rural.s oru_512 205..224 T he rural still causes trouble. In our supposedly modern and urban age, when we have grown accustomed to thinking of the rural as something old and tired, too exhausted and passive to resist and get out of the way of cities and city people, we still find repeated reminders of the alertness and vigour of rural places, ideas and lives. These reminders are not necessarily cause for romantic celebration. Afghanistan, Waziristan and Sudan nettle the world, showing us the continued stark military challenge of the rural. Everyone is talking about food again, worried about its dearth, its excess and its quality and lack thereof. Diseases from swine flu to avian flu to West Nile virus bring the rural into the streets of everyone's concerns. People move from countryside to city, from city to countryside, and from countryside to countryside and the results are not always conflict free. The rural also pleases us, soothing our worries through book and film and song, and rewarding our ambitions through walks and weeding and woodcutting. In all these ways and more, the rural remains an active feature of our lives, continually confronting us and our politics materially, symbolically and relationally.And yet many writers from many quarters have argued that the rural is declining in consequence. Others have objected to or qualified such a take on the rural. This is an old and seemingly endless debate, one that more than a few scholars are weary of,
