Rural development is seen as a central policy challenge for the 1990s. This text offers a synthesis of key contemporary research institutes and policy innovation in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This text sets out an agenda for rural policy formation and implementation and thus provides a contribution to the wider debate concerning the future of rural society and economy in other European peripheral regions.
