This book examines the interplay between rural places and the
competing narratives of globalization and nationalism. Through case
studies from Croatia, Belgium, Australia, the USA, Argentina,
Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Italy and Spain, this volume highlights
the contemporary status of rural change through the lens of
sustainability and set within current competing narratives of
globalization and economic nationalism. The multiplicity of roles
that rural communities play in economic and social systems are
often overlooked in conversations about globalization and economic
nationalism. Yet rural communities, economies and landscapes are
closely tied to global industries, migrant flows and markets, while
simultaneously subject to nationalist economic policies and
strategies. The chapters in this book seek to elucidate the nuanced
ties between people and industries that are at once intensely local
and simultaneously tied to regional and global processes. The
volume challenges us to critically examine oversimplified messaging
of highly complex systems and provides insights into processes of
change at local scales across major global regions. Sustaining
Rural Systems will be of great interest to upper-level students,
researchers, and scholars in the areas of rural sociology, human
geography and development studies. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Geographical Review.
