Description

Description

Rural Development offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of rural development efforts in the global north and south. By exploring examples from Afghanistan and Sweden, the authors highlight both similarities and differences in contexts, providing a nuanced understanding of this complex subject area. The book is divided into nine chapters, each focusing on a specific theme, including concepts and theories, rural livelihoods, natural resources, policy, and processes of change. A multidisciplinary approach is taken, incorporating analytical concepts such as power, discourse, consequences, and context to understand rural development as a multifaceted subject. Accessible to undergraduates yet offering depth for more advanced readers, this textbook includes discussion questions, suggested further readings, and useful websites to support its exploration.
