`This Handbook powerfully demonstrates that rural spaces, rural
societies and rural natures are at the very forefront of critical

comprehensive review of theory, research and the study of rural
questions…an essential reference for students, scholars,

Institute for Political Sciences, Budapest `This collection is an

Nelson, Middlebury College `The Handbook of Rural Studies is a tour de
force on changing rural people and places in a rapidly urbanizing
global economy -- the most comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment
of "rural" available anywhere. This is absolutely must reading for
social scientists concerned about finding a prominent place for
"rural" in scholarly discourse, institutional analysis, and public
policy debates on the political economy of space′ - Daniel T
Lichter, Policy Analysis and Management, Cornell University The
Handbook represents the vitality and theoretical innovation at work in
rural studies. It shows how political economy and the ′cultural
turn′ have led to very significant new thinking in the cultural
representations of: rurality; nature; sustainability; new economies;
power and rurality; new consumerism; and exclusion and rurality. It is
organized in three sections: approaches to rural studies; rural
research: key theoretical co-ordinates and new rural relations. In a
rich and textured discussion, the Handbook of Rural Studies explains
the key moments in which the theorization of culture, nature,
politics, agency, and space in rural contexts have transmitted ideas
back into wider social science.
