The book contrasts the different approaches of resource and rural economics and considers how they might be refocused in light of pressing demands on human and natural systems. It then proposes a "new rural economics" that acknowledges the full range of human-ecosystem and urban-rural interdependencies. It explores the relationship between natural resources and economic growth and considers the prospects for an amenity-driven growth that would benefit both new and traditional inhabitants of rural areas. Later chapters explore the politics of place spatial economics, and prospects for linking rural and environmental governance.
