Everyday resilience: Rural communities as agents of change in peatland social-ecological systems
The ability to maintain livelihoods in the face of major environmental, political, economic and social stresses is fundamental to building resilient social and ecological communities. This research examines the place community has in this challenge and specifically the role of community involvement in the conservation of peatland social-ecological systems. It explores transformative change at local levels and the relational networks, diverse econ…
Going against the grain: Unravelling the habitus of older farmers to help facilitate generational renewal in agriculture
Limited uptake of financial incentives, designed to confront global trends of an ageing farming population and low levels of land mobility, reveal resistance or at best ambivalence, amongst farmers towards altering existing farm management and ownership structures in later life. To uncover facets governing the mindset, disposition and practices of older farmers towards succession and retirement, this study draws on Bourdieu's notion of habitus. A…
Unlikely alliances? Knowledge, power and the collaborative governance of Irish peatlands
Uncovering obstacles: The exercise of symbolic power in the complex arena of intergenerational family farm transfer
Renegotiating Rural Development in Ireland
This title was first published in 2002: As rural Ireland undergoes deep-reaching changes, this book critically assesses what the author terms the "renegotiation of rural development" in Ireland through the repackaging, reproduction and representation of suggestions, ideas and alternatives for rural renewal. Deconstructing the process and practice of rural development in Ireland, the author explores the new approaches to development and the so-cal…

Local knowledge and environmentality in legitimacy discourses on Irish peatlands regulation
Transitions in European land-management regimes between 1800 and 2010
Rural geography II: Discourses of food and sustainable rural futures
A dominant discourse in contemporary rural debate relates to food. Deliberated in multiple and complex ways, the conversation vacillates between issues of food sustainability, security, type and provenance, to those of food scarcity, access and safety. Further compounding this complexity, food is equally central to discourses of energy, climate change, biofuels, production patterns, land use and a ‘21st-century land rush’. The use and management …
Rural geography III: Do we really have a choice? The bioeconomy and future rural pathways
Expectations and contradictions in the rural, played out through small-scale farming, the pervasive nature of globalization, discourses of food security, new productivism and escalation in global land grabs have been shown in previous reports to impact greatly on sustainable rural futures. The analysis continues here by exploring another often contradictory pathway, that of sustainable intensification. The bioeconomy and its nascent popularity in…
Rural geography I: Changing expectations and contradictions in the rural
Rural areas are increasingly thought of in terms of opportunity, as engines of growth in a world of economic uncertainty, they are being challenged in terms of their role in providing safe and secure food supplies, and they are being lauded and criticized in terms of climate change and mitigation. The multiple scales of these discussions, and the intensity and increased volume of rural debate that has emerged, see rural geographers occupy an inte…
Polish-Irish Encounters in the Old and New Europe
The problems Young Poland experienced in understanding the work of John Millington Synge were informed by precisely the same kind of behaviors that Daniel Corkery described in his argument for a truly native Irish national literature in the 1930s. Overcome by a strong sense of self, Poles were not fully able to appreciate the complexities and nuances of Synge's work and by extension, the Irish-Ireland movement. In the end, then, Young Poland was …
Sustainable Rural Tourism: Lessons for Rural Development
Rural areas are recognised for their complex, multifunctional capacities with a range of different interest groups claiming their rights to, and use of, different rural spaces. The current rural development paradigm that is evident across the globe is epitomised by the European LEADER approach. Using evidence from the proposed National Park in Northern Ireland, we ask the question: what is the potential for sustainable rural tourism to contribute…
Power, Positionality and the View from within: Agricultural Advisers' Role in Implementing Participatory Extension Programmes in the Republic of Ireland
This article examines the experience of implementing a participatory model of public extension advisory programme in the Republic of Ireland. Focusing specifically on the role and experiences of extension advisers, it draws evidence from an evaluation of the ‘Options for Farm Families Programme’. It is argued that, while participatory approaches are increasingly promoted from an institutional perspective, they also raise a number of dilemmas for …
Commodification and Conflict: What Can the Irish Approach to Protected Area Management Tell Us
Parks and protected areas are often seen as human products of nature that have been demarcated, interpreted, and “museumized” for the purpose of visitors and society. In contemporary Ireland, a critical management issue surrounding the extent, appropriate form, and scale of visitor facilities has caused some of the most acrimonious environmental disputes in its history. Visitor center developments in the Burren National Park and the Cliffs of Moh…

The Philistines as Scapegoats: Narratives and Myths in the Invention of Ancient Israel and in Modern Critical Theory
The Philistines have, for centuries, suffered under the weight of their relentlessly negative portrayal in the books of the Old Testament. From Goliath to Delilah, they have personified the intrinsically evil other in the burgeoning narrative myth of the nation of Israel. By applying the theories of contemporary literary deconstruction, particularly in the work of Derrida and Freud, the Philistines can be seen as literary constructions as much as…
