The corresponding re-distribution of population has typically resulted in a net population loss to rural areas, and diversification of rural activity. The corporatization and technological modification of food production has prompted new policy challenges, and has bound rural and urban populations together in new relationships articulated in moral discourses of custodianship, food safety, and sustainability. Contributors to this volume came together in the attempt to stimulate collective insight into trends of rural change in Australia, New Zealand and Europe. The first two countries have been characterised by avowedly ?eoliberal' rural policy "with considerable departures from it in practice; Europe, on the other hand, by a mix of policy measures which attempt to integrate land management and sustainability, diversification and maintenance of a competitive farming sector within an overarching policy framework more overtly, though only partially, oriented towards sustaining rural society. Aiming to build on research relating to the character of rural transitions, this volume offers substantive and critical contributions to the understanding of the sources of unpredictability, instability, and continuity, that underpin rural transition. The papers explore changes and continuities in policy, the governance of rural spaces, technological developments relating to rural areas and populations, and social forms of subjectivation and participation in increasingly diverse rural settings. 606 $aSociology, Rural 606 $aRural development$zAustralia 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aRural development$zNew Zealand 606 $aRural development$zEurope 606 $aRural conditions 615 0$aSociology, Rural. 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aRural conditions. 676 $a307.72 702 $aMerlan$b Francesca 702 $aRaftery$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137633903321 996 $aTracking rural change$92258351 997 $aUNINA
