Routledge - Regional Resilience, Economy and Society Book

Explore the changing landscape of rural communities in this academic study by Routledge. As globalisation restructures rural places, this book examines how local and global actors interact to create new socio-economic relations. It moves beyond simple theories to look at the actual heterogeneity of globalisation, showing how different rural areas respond to global forces in unique ways. This work provides a deep look into how rural settings differ from their past identities and from one another. By using an interdisciplinary approach, the text offers a comprehensive view of the modern rural economy. Readers will gain insights through comparative case studies spanning Europe (both West and East) and Asia, making it a valuable resource for understanding the current challenges and opportunities facing globalising rural spaces.
