In recent decades, globalization has transformed rural societies
and economies across the world. Much has been written by social
scientists about the actors and structures underpinning these
transformations and the effects on particular social groups,
organizations and industries. Yet, to date much less attention has
been given to the specific global processes that are fundamental to
contemporary rural change. Rural Change and Global Processes
provides a systematic analysis of the key global processes
transforming rural spaces in the early 21st century -
financialization; standardization; consumption, and
commodification. Through detailed case studies, the book examines
why these processes are important, how they work in practice, and
the challenges they raise as well as opportunities created. The
book will be of particular relevance to researchers, graduate
students, and policy-makers interested in the implications of
global processes for rural people and livelihoods.
