Neo-endogenous development policy in theory and practice: The strategic objectives of area-based partnerships in Poland
This article presents an analysis of the influences of European Union (EU) policy and associated national programmes in shaping the objectives of territorial development strategies at sub-regional levels. Our analysis focuses on area-based cross-sectoral partnerships (Local Action Groups – LAGs) in Poland, which received EU funding from 2014-2020 for Community-Led Local Development (CLLD). A range of LAG types are included in the analysis: rural,…
Rural lives during Covid-19: Crisis, resilience and redistributing societal risk
This paper explores the redistribution and rescaling of societal risk in rural Britain during the COVID-19 pandemic, as one episode of the permacrisis. Drawing on empirical work in three contrasting areas of Scotland and England, we analyse individuals’ experiences of risk and of the institutions which offer them support in times of crisis (markets, state, voluntary and community organisations, and family and friends). Our findings reveal the une…

Determinants of the Performance of Business Associations in Rural Settlements in the United Kingdom: An Analysis of Members' Satisfaction and Willingness-to-Pay for Association Survival
Research into business associations indicates that many associations suffer from very high levels of inactive members and fail to deliver significant benefits to members. In order to improve provision, the objective of this paper is to understand the determinants that drive or limit performance of rural business associations. Previous research has focused on the ratio of perceived costs to benefits as informing the decision to remain a member. Ho…
Entrepreneurial In-migration and Neoendogenous Rural Development
The social, cultural, and economic transitions in rural areas across the globe lead us to critique the traditional 'top-down' or 'bottom-up' distinction as being outdated for contemporary rural policy. In Europe and the United States in particular, high rates of counterurbanization heighten the need for new ways of thinking about rural development. To address this, we describe the emergence of neoendogenous development theories in the United King…
Twenty-first Century Clientelism? State and Community on the Isle of Rum, Scotland: State and community on the Isle of Rum, Scotland
This article utilises the concept of the clientelist countryside to examine the similarities and differences between areas dominated by private estates and areas dominated by large public land holdings. While the paternalistic countryside has been widely studied in England, there has been little in-depth work on the clientelist countryside. Drawing on empirical work on the Isle of Rum, located off the west coast of Scotland, the article argues th…
Planning for the Ageing Countryside in Japan: The Potential Impact of Multi-habitation
This paper explores how the aspirations of the retiring Japanese ‘baby boomer’ generation are being harnessed by depopulated rural areas as drivers for revival. Drawing upon case studies and key actor interviews undertaken in Hokkaido prefecture, the paper makes three points. Firstly that, as in the UK, the baby boomer generation in Japan is creating opportunities for the regeneration of rural areas. Secondly that proactive local authorities can …
The 'Strength of Weak Ties: Social Networking by Business Owners in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland
Drawing on recent studies of the importance of social networks and embeddedness in affecting the operation of businesses, this article reports the results of an empirical study of the social networks maintained by business owners located in three small towns in the highly peripheral Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Through a combination of a large-scale postal questionnaires and qualitative semi-structured interviews, the study found that, alth…
Globalisation and the Contested Process of International Corporate Restructuring: Employment Reorganisation and the Issue of Labour Consent in the International Oil Industry
Labour is typically treated as a passive victim of corporate restructuring processes in discourses on globalisation, rendered helpless by rationalisation and downsizing, and structurally place-bound and defenceless against increasingly mobile and footloose capital. This paper forms part of a growing body of work in the geographical literature that seeks to contest this view, reinserting labour as an actor in the context of globalisation. Specific…
