Land Use Transitions -- Rural Restructuring -- Rural Restructuring Promoted by Land Use Transitions -- Reflections and Futures |
| Summary |
Intended as a comprehensive guide to the study of land use and rural development, this book offers detailed descriptions of land use transitions and rural restructuring. To do so, it chiefly focuses on three main aspects, the first of which is the application of geographical perspectives in order to understand rural issues in connection with urbanization, industrialization, globalization and rural vitalization strategies in contemporary China. Secondly, it presents a rich blend of regional and national analyses; detailed explorations of local cases; and critical and theoretically informed discussions that address historical paths and future projections. Lastly, it adapts concepts derived from western literature to situations and experiences in rural China, and provides empirical evidence from an "insider" perspective. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, and for graduate students / courses in geography and sociology |
