Rural Trends in Western Europe Parallel Our Own

Richard W. Long

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 04, issue 01

Abstract: Europe and America share a host of similar rural problems, but not a common approach to solving them. Social and political differences make it unlikely that we can easily transplant and adopt European programs. But observing the similarities can help us understand the global nature of the forces at work and account for them in our own solutions. Europeans have tended to rely on centralized government approaches but, like the United States, are now emphasizing decentralization and private market approaches.
