Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of leading experts, this book examines the position of rural social and cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century and suggests new agendas in the study of changing social and cultural geographies of rurality in 'developed' or 'Western' countries. It offers critical evaluations of theoretical positions and advances, introduces new conceptual and methodological tools and reports on recent empirical work from the UK, New Zealand, Denmark, France, Australia, USA and Ireland on aspects of rural change.
