Democracy is back, at least as a topic of concern among rural
sociologists. The Neoliberal cast of the recent pursuit of
globalization in world politics has led to the development of a
wide range of critiques united by the same question: what about
democracy? From this perspective, the main issue with globalization
is the globalization of what - the market or the policy, the
citizen as consumer or the citizen as citizen. This volume brings
together some of the recent work of rural sociologists on
democracy, in an effort to bring into sharper focus this work's
distinctive contributions to the understanding the question of what
is and should be globalized, with particular emphasis on rural
concerns and rural people. Half the world still lives in rural
areas, and the entire world depends upon the success of rural areas
in providing the means for human subsistence. The impact of
globalization on rural democratization thus has implications for
everyone. The volume has three sections. The first draws together a
range of theoretical work on rural democratization. The second
explores processes of rural democratization in the rich countries
of the world. The third investigates the distinctive manifestations
of rural democratization efforts in the poor countries.
