Rural Development Policy: Responding to Change

Anicca C. Jansen and Thomas D. Rowley

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1993, vol. 09, issue 01

Abstract: The economic and governmental context in which rural development policy is formed and implemented is changing. The demand for rural labor is shifting, many rural counties are losing population, and concern for the environment is increasing. At the same time, governmental resources are stretched and there is continued debate about what the exact role of government should be. Consequently, the discussion about what rural development is and what it should do is changing. A new rural development paradigm is emerging, one that calls for new definitions, new goals, and new partnerships.
