Preface and Dedication

Abstract

This is the first volume under my general series editorship, and I look forward to being able, with our international editorial board, to continuing to commission high-quality volumes, which represent the forefront of rural sociology and development enquiry at the international level. As recent volumes clearly demonstrate, there has never been a greater intellectual need to bring together internationally comparative and critical research and to demonstrate the wider relevance of rural sociological and development debates to those in other disciplines and sub-disciplines.
