Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of rural change and restructuring has, at the global level, infinite faces and speeds. The same socio-political approach to the concept of ‘sustainable rural resiliences’ may be in dispute as it is interpreted unequally by different social or interest groups from scalar and local perspectives. Changes can be multiple, even in small areas, and can give rise to unequal resistance processes through different paths. The concept of resistance is usually more associated with processes of social and territorial change at the local level, while the concept of resilience is more linked to periods of relative stability regarding interactions between different social groups. Currently, there is greater attention in the literature on global processes; this Special Issue focuses on microprocesses that show notable diversity, even in regional spheres.
