Part 1. Empirical issues and theoretical orientations -- Rural communities and their governance -- Development -- Evolutionary governance concepts -- Part 2. Traditions of applied expertise for rural development -- Rural development: extension models -- Land consolidation and land use planning -- Rural development: rural and community design -- Rural development: institutional reform -- Rural development: environmental and resource governance -- Rural development: transition management and innovation -- Rural development: local, local, local -- Part 3. Combining and concluding -- Bringing the pieces together -- Rural development, expertise and local knowledge.
This book offers a unique perspective on rural development, by discussing the most influential perspectives and rendering their risks and benefits visible. The authors do not present a silver bullet. Rather, they give students, researchers, community leaders, politicians, concerned citizens and development organizations the conceptual tools to understand how things are organized now, which development path has already been taken, and how things could possibly move in a different direction.Drawing on experiences in five continents, the authors develop a theoretical framework which elucidates how modes of governance and rural development are inextricably tied. A community is much better placed to choose direction, when it understands these ties.--Provided by publisher
