From fox-hunting to farming, the vigor with which rural activities and living are defended overturns received notions of a sleepy and complacent countryside. Alongside these developments, the rise of the organic food movement has helped to revitalize an already politicized rural population. Over the years 'rural life' has been defined, redefined and eventually fallen out of fashion as a sociological concept - in contrast to urban studies, which has flourished. This much-needed reappraisal calls for its reinterpretation in light of the profound changes affecting the countryside. First providing

Les interactions entre sociétés humaines et environnement constituent un défi majeur pour l’avenir de la planète. Les conférences internationales (Rio, Kyoto, Johannesburg, etc.) montrent toute l’ambiguïté et tous les enjeux économiques et politiques nationaux qui s’y expriment. Dans ce contexte hautement politique, comment créer des convergences qui répondent aux besoins des populations et à une gestion environnementale appropriée ? C’est bien là toute la difficulté du développement durable. L’une des réponses qu’apporte ce livre passe par la nécessité de renouveler en profondeur les problématiques scientifiques et par l’importance de développer des études au niveau local ; car c’est là où se trouvent confrontées les stratégies des sociétés et les réponses qu’elles apportent aux multiples contraintes auxquelles elles ont à faire face. Connaître et faire connaître, dans les processus de prise de décision, les capacités d’adaptation et d’innovation des sociétés locales, cerner de nouveaux modes de régulation pour l’usage des ressources naturelles, proposer des stratégies alternatives de développement durable : tels sont les enjeux fondamentaux des études développées dans ce livre, à partir d’exemples contrastés pris dans la zone bioclimatique méditerranéenne.

A key, intensifying change affecting rural areas in the last few decades has been a decline in the proportion of national populations whose principal livelihood is farming. The corresponding re-distribution of population has typically resulted in a net population loss to rural areas, and diversification of rural activity. The corporatization and technological modification of food production has prompted new policy challenges, and has bound rural and urban populations together in new relationships articulated in moral discourses of custodianship, food safety, and sustainability. Contributors to this volume came together in the attempt to stimulate collective insight into trends of rural change in Australia, New Zealand and Europe. The first two countries have been characterised by avowedly ǹeoliberal' rural policy "with considerable departures from it in practice; Europe, on the other hand, by a mix of policy measures which attempt to integrate land management and sustainability, diversification and maintenance of a competitive farming sector within an overarching policy framework more overtly, though only partially, oriented towards sustaining rural society. Aiming to build on research relating to the character of rural transitions, this volume offers substantive and critical contributions to the understanding of the sources of unpredictability, instability, and continuity, that underpin rural transition. The papers explore changes and continuities in policy, the governance of rural spaces, technological developments relating to rural areas and populations, and social forms of subjectivation and participation in increasingly diverse rural settings.
