This book draws on work from across northern Europe and is parallel
and complementary to the network itself. By establishing an
intellectual and practically orientated framework and platform, and
by bringing together contributions defining the state-of-the-art
and potential development paths in the field, it is the first
volume to offer a systematic and scientific view from the
periphery.

The countryside has often been marginalised in discussions of
economic and societal development, in favour of the urban. This
book aims to stimulate a debate and a re-evaluation of how the
concepts of the rural, peripheral and marginal are treated in
academia and policy. Approaching this theme from geographic,
demographic and economic perspectives, Peter de Souza makes a
compelling case for giving the periphery a prominent role as an
integral part of a holistic and balanced society. The book
carefully deconstructs the concept of the urban, and critiques the
idea of urban-rural or centre-periphery comparisons, and presents
an alternative approach to spark future discussions. Winner of the
Regional Studies Association Best Book Award 2020, The Rural and
Peripheral in Regional Development will be of interest to those
studying and researching in the areas of rural economics,
sustainability and development, as well as those involved in rural
policymaking.
