This book explores the decline of rural and peripheral areas in
Japan, which results from an aging population, outmigration of the
younger generations, and the economic decline of the primary
sector. Based on extensive original research, the book examines in
detail the case of the Noto peninsula. Allowing the locals to tell
their stories, describe their problems, and come up with possible
solutions, the book demonstrates the serious impact of rural
decline on their daily life and work and highlights the struggle to
sustain rural living in the globalized age. It argues that some
recent innovations in global media, economy, technology, and
ideology offer scope for reversing the decline, as some central
government initiatives do, but that these are not always noticed,
appreciated, and made use of by local people. The book also
discusses the nature of the links between the peripheries and the
centres - regional, national, and global - and how these often take
the form of "internal colonialism."
