Ireland: Rural Development in Agrarian Society

Alan Matthews

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1986, vol. 13, issue 3, 367-89

Abstract: Problems of economic and social development dominate the Irish rural development literature. This article distinguishes five separate themes: the pattern of agricultural adjustment and its consequences for land use and demography; the evaluation of alternative means of creating employment in rural areas; the extent and pattern of social deprivation; the investigation of conflicts in the management of rural resources; and the potential of institutional innovation to tap local resources and initiative. The major contributions to each theme are discussed. Copyright 1986 by Oxford University Press.
