Synopsis

This series arises out of the increasing need for the international dissemination of ongoing high quality empirical and theoretical research associated with rural areas in advanced societies. Local, national and international policies have direct influence upon rural areas, not only those concerned with agriculture but also development initiatives, overall economic and social policies, and regional and fiscal arrangements. Each edited volume will draw upon international contributors writing to a set theme.

About this title

From the Publisher:

An in-depth examination of how the rural environments of developed and currently developing countries have been transformed not only by urbanization and industrialization but also by the technological revolution. From the greenhouse effect to slurry pollution and the destruction of genetic resources to the risks associated with advanced biotechnology, the book addresses a broad sampling of problems and the impact they have on the environmental, social and political dynamics of their respective regions.
