Entrepreneurship for the rural? A reflection on rural entrepreneurship in a time of multi-crisis
Rural areas in most of the world are facing a multi-crisis related to climate change, regional inequalities, and increasing political unrest. This calls for rethinking and exploring forms of entrepreneurial action that can engage with these crises. In this conceptual paper, we conduct a Weberian ideal type analysis and suggest that the prevailing ideal types of rural entrepreneurship run the risk of an epistemic fallacy and of inadvertently legit…
Navigating hostility, pursuing hospitality
This article focuses on migrant women entrepreneurs’ engagement with local communities through creating hospitable spaces and explores how experiences of hospitality/hostility influence entrepreneurial activities and community engagement. Businesses, particularly in the service sector, often function as hubs of social interaction, providing opportunities for migrant entrepreneurs to engage with host communities in ways otherwise not readily avail…

Translating climate risk assessments into more effective adaptation decision-making
Climate risk continues to be framed ostensibly in terms of physical, socio-economic and/or ecological risks, as evidenced in the 2012 and 2017 UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) evidence reports. This article argues that framing climate risk in this way remains problematic for the science-policy process, particularly in ensuring adequate climate risk assessment information translates into more effective adaptation decision-making. We argue …
Examining the need for organisational learning and entrepreneurialism to meet the changing roles and expectations of rural and agricultural shows in the UK
Rural and Agricultural Shows are rich in tradition but their role in the rural economy is evolving. The effective closure of the sector in the UK in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic led us to examine how rural Shows would re-emerge, as well as how subsequent economic challenges are influencing the future of Shows. The research draws on interviews with Show organisers and conversations with exhibitors while attending live events. Collecti…
Rural co-working
Coworking has been a largely urban phenomenon although new initiatives are emerging in rural areas. Rural coworking is partly a response to the growing need for ICT, which is unevenly provided across rural areas, and partly to the social needs of freelancers and home-workers. By combining technological and social functions, coworking spaces can play key roles in the progress of a Smart Countryside, supporting digital, knowledge-based and creative…
Brewing at the time of Covid
The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on UK craft breweries. In this paper we explore and assess the impact of COVID-19 on the UK craft beer sector from a locational perspective, targeting entrepreneurial responses from breweries within and across the urban, suburban and rural dimensions. Using a mix of quantitative and qualitative data collected between 2015 and 2022, we identify a marked geographical contextualization in terms of how…
Developing a framework for radical and incremental social innovation in rural areas
Social innovation (SI) has been championed as an integral feature of community-led rural development. However, the choice of the term “innovation” prompts a number of questions about the intensity and novelty of SI initiatives. In this paper, these issues are examined through the lens of radical and incremental innovation theory. By analysing features of radical and incremental SI, we can better understand the different social reconfigurations th…
How rural coworking hubs can facilitate well-being through the satisfaction of key psychological needs
Once considered an urban phenomenon, rural enterprise hubs (REH) and rural coworking spaces (RCWS) are now increasing in popularity to support entrepreneurial rural communities. Whilst previous research has examined economic and community benefits, a focus on well-being benefits has been overlooked. Framed by self-determination theory, this empirical research investigates whether rural coworking is reported to enhance user’s well-being by fulfill…
Applying Neo-Endogenous Development Theory to Delivering Sustainable Local Nature Conservation
The environmental planning agenda is shaped by a range of top-down policies and directives, both nationally and internationally. Simultaneously, several local, often community-led, initiatives seek to enhance their local environments. This article seeks to understand both synergies and dissonance between top-down and bottom-up actions within the environmental conservation and management domain of sustainable development. Four case studies of loca…
The impact of coastal flooding on agriculture
Under future climate predictions, the incidence of coastal flooding is set to rise. Many coastal regions at risk, such as those surrounding the North Sea, comprise large areas of low‐lying and productive agricultural land. Flood risk assessments typically emphasise the economic consequences of coastal flooding on urban areas and national infrastructure. Impacts on agricultural land have seen less attention, and considerations tend to omit the lon…

Commercial Counterurbanisation
Counterurbanisation is transforming rural communities and has implications for entrepreneurial opportunities in rural areas. The rural economy has seen a shift away from the dominant productivist paradigm towards an increasingly consumption-led array of businesses, facilitated by increased mobility and connectivity. Part of this transition has seen increasing rates of new businesses started by people moving into rural areas. This 'commercial coun…

Interrogating the meaning of a rural business through a rural capitals framework
Economic linkages between urban and rural regions – what’s in it for the rural
Urban–rural interdependences are modelled based on wages, cost of living, and interregional migration and commuting. Rural-to-urban commuting generates a scenario where the relative level of urban wages can continue to outperform rural wages without residential migration and increased costs of living acting as equilibrating forces. The spread of urban workers could be detrimental for rural regions without clear mechanisms for their human and fina…
The Community Reclaims Control? Learning Experiences from Rural Broadband Initiatives in the Netherlands
Based on four illustrative case studies from the Netherlands, this article discusses learning experiences gained from rural broadband initiatives. As an example of 'the big society' (or 'participatiesamenleving' in Dutch), initiatives try to step in where the market and the government fail. The main struggle seems to be negotiating between market and government interests, while simultaneously safeguarding local interests. Many challenges and frus…
Identifying social innovations in European local rural development initiatives
Social innovation is attracting increasing attention in research and policy, heightened by continuing austerity across Europe. Therefore, this paper examines earlier research into community-led local development (CLLD) initiatives in rural areas of Europe to develop our understanding of the meaning and scope of rural social innovation. We draw on a Schumpeterian view where innovations emerge from new combinations of resources that bring about pos…
Empowering Local Action through Neo-Endogenous Development; The Case of Leader in England
Neo-endogenous rural development depends on 'bottom-up' activities that integrate external influences to increase local potential. This local focus calls for local knowledge, local resources and the engagement of local people to be central to development processes. Based on data from an evaluation of LEADER in England, we explore the scope for local control and the effective means of creating local empowerment within the neo-endogenous model. Int…

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…

Commercial Counterurbanisation
After rapid urban growth and industrialisation, the postwar era has seen counterurbanisation become a dominant demographic trend in the UK. Much has been written about the residential patterns of counterurbanisation, but the associated growth of rural business has attracted less attention. The author proposes the term 'commercial counterurbanisation' to describe the growth of rural economies stimulated by inward migration. In the North East of En…

Embeddedness or Escapism? Rural Perceptions and Economic Development in Cornwall and Northumberland
This article explores the effect of perceptions of rural life upon the subsequent actions of counterurbanisers and the resulting impact for rural economic development in the contrasting counties of Cornwall and Northumberland. Perceptions of a high quality of life attract migrants to remote rural areas yet these areas also have high rates of economic deprivation. In-migration can stimulate rural development but in this article we hypothesise that…
