Email: cre@ncl.ac.ukNotes: "This paper proposes a new concept of rural development in an uncertain world. The nature of risk and uncertainty is discussed and risk management is defined as a positive model of economic and social behaviour. Some relevant paradigms for rural development are briefly reviewed and evaluated within the general approach of risk management. It is demonstrated that the suggested view of risk management can effectively combine and reconcile different approaches outlining their advantages and shortcomings. Departing from a subjective definition of risk management we progressively include its social dimensions and this introduces both complexity and structure in the process of development."

Recommended By: Heartland Center for Leadership DevelopmentTo Acquire Contact: Amazon, Barnes and Noble Notes: Discusses interactional field theory. "This study examines the critical state of rural life in America, its causes and possible cure. First reviewing existing research and theories on the subject, Wilkinson identifies characteristic rural conditions that block community development and the enhancement of economic, social, and educational opportunities for rural people. His analysis focuses on community interaction as a necessary basis for social well-being, pinpoints fruitful areas of research, and suggests policy initiatives needed to save a rural way of life."
