Rural development is inherently viewed as a positive thing; it is
seen as something that brings together groups of individuals with
automatic positive implications and outcomes. Policy rhetoric
frequently uses popular terms such as involvement, participation
and power sharing to describe rural development activities.
However, the reality of experience on the ground does not
necessarily concur with these ideals. It is not always clear who
ultimately benefits from rural development: the State, the
community or rural development practitioners. This book critically
analyses key concepts associated with rural development policy and
practice, and using the concepts of power and micro-politics to
analyze rhetoric and reality, reveals the intricacies of rural
development. Challenging popular ideals associated with rural
development, this book presents the notion of rural development
less as a spontaneous, all-inclusive affair and more as a limited,
controlled and exclusive process. Ultimately it contends that
within structures of rural governance, a regeneration power elite
predominates development and regeneration activities.
