Women’s Changing Opportunities and Aspirations Amid Male Outmigration
In Makueni County, Kenya, an area experiencing intensifying migration flows, we investigate the aspired futures of rural men and women using a novel methodology combining a narrative-based survey tool, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews. Our findings indicate that, in the absence of men and presence of norms restricting women's movement out of rural life, women are becoming increasingly engaged in farm management. Women’s aspi…
Who Wants to Farm? Answers Depend on How You Ask
While there is a consensus that rural poverty has to be reduced, there are two opposing views on the role that agriculture can play in this regard: a “farm-based” and an “off-farm led” development paradigm where the respective other sector is merely a complementary income source during a transition period. The latter paradigm is supported by studies finding that rural youth in sub-Saharan Africa are not particularly interested in agriculture. How…
Not All About Farming
Rural development is a political topic in which debate has been more focussed on externally identified needs than on demands or aspirations of the rural population and polarised between the attractions of urban income earning opportunities and the importance of rural farming communities for national food provision. The heterogeneity of local aspirations and their implications for development have barely been considered. We explore the aspirations…
What’s the Story on Agriculture? Using Narratives to Understand Farming Households’ Aspirations in Meru, Kenya
In the limited research on farming aspirations, little attention has been paid to the narratives which frame and shape them, and the ways in which the aspirations of those who farm intersect with the goals of extension services. Drawing on multimethod research conducted in Meru County, Kenya, we demonstrate how aspirations are not only situated within a consideration of personal circumstances, but are shaped in crucial ways by networks of relatio…
Rural Aspirations
In this editorial introduction to the Special Issue “Rural aspirations—Livelihood decisions and rural development trajectories”, we outline current views on aspirations and their relevance for development research, projects and approaches. Using several examples from Africa, we outline how the combination of the different theoretical perspectives, case studies and regional backgrounds provides deeper insights about the role of aspirations in shap…
Hegemony and the Media
Before it was applied to academic analysis of the media, the term “hegemony” referred more generally to indirect political control, which often replaced the need for constant and direct military or political domination of the kind exercised, for example, by colonial states over rivals or by dominant groups within a nation‐state

Threats to Constitutional Freedoms in West Germany
Introduction: Fear and Opportunism on the Rise Even the attentive observer who might grasp the significance of isolated circumstances would not be able to give a clear picture after a visit to the Federal Republic today. If he were to compare the contemporary scene and atmosphere with that of the late 1960s and early 1970s, he would almost have to conclude that the country was totally different then. There has been an apparent return to normalcy.…
