"This book makes a timely and valuable intervention in the rural-urban debate through the lens of ‘rural regeneration’ by providing a critical and multifaceted overview of rural policy changes over time. It highlights the challenges and opportunities through the examination of policy developments, power hierarchies and governance in different parts of the UK from national to local." –Dr Philomena de Lima, Director, Centre for Remote and Rural Studies , University of the Highlands and Islands, UK "This text is an informative and insightful consideration of rural regeneration at a time when rural planning and development strategy in the UK is at a cross roads. It will no doubt be a key point of reference for both rural geographers and those concerned with the shifting direction of rural development policy more broadly. Highly recommended." –Jesse Heley, Aberystwyth University, UK
