This volume represents the result of almost two decades of
trans-Atlantic collaborative development of a policy research
paradigm, the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies
program. Over this period dozens of scientists from different
disciplines but with a common interest in rural issues and policy
have collaboratively studied the policies in North America, Europe,
and other parts of the world. A core element of the book is the
idea and practice of comparative research and analysis - what can
be learned from comparisons, how and why policies vary in different
contexts, and what lessons might or might not be "transferable"
across borders. It provides skills for the use of comparative
methods as important tools to analyze the functioning of strategies
and specific policy interventions in different contexts and a
holistic approach for the management of resources in rural regions.
It promotes innovation as a tool to valorize endogenous resources
and empower local communities and offers case studies of rural
policy in specific contexts. The book largely adopts a territorial
approach to rural policy. This means the book is more interested in
rural regions, their people and economies, and in the policies that
affect them, than in rural sectors, and sectoral policies per se.
The audience of the book is by definition international and
includes students attending courses in agricultural and rural
policy, rural and regional studies, and natural resource
management; lecturers seeking course material and case studies to
present to their students in any of the courses listed above;
professionals working in the field of rural policy; policy-makers
and civil servants at different levels seeking tools to better
understand rural policy both at the local and global scale and to
better recognize and comprehend how to transfer best practices.
