Seeking to challenge negative perceptions within Japanese media and
politics on the future of the countryside, the contributors to this
book present a counterargument to the inevitable demise of rural
society. Contrary to the dominant argument, which holds
outmigration and demographic hyper-aging as primarily responsible
for rural decline, this book highlights the spatial dimension of
power differences behind uneven development in contemporary Japan.
Including many fi eldwork-based case studies, the chapters discuss
topics such as corporate farming, local energy systems and public
healthcare, examining the constraints and possibilities of rural
self-determination under the centripetal impact of forces located
both in and outside of the country. Focusing on asymmetries of
power to explore regional autonomy and heteronomy, it also examines
"peripheralization" and the "global countryside," two recent
theoretical contributions to the fi eld, as a common framework.
Japan's New Ruralities addresses the complexity of rural decline in
the context of debates on globalization and power differences. As
such, it will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology,
anthropology, human geography and politics, as well as Japanese
Studies.
