Sažetak
Social and developmental circumstances of rural youth in politically and economically transitioning countries are considered.Democratic transition has not been a particularly smooth process, as countries face challenges associated with the economic integration of the European Union (EU), rising nationalism, demographic aging, outmigration, and the continued economic stagnation of rural areas. Just as rurality occupies the spatial margins of the global metropolis, it also all too often occupies the social, political, and economic peripheries. This marginality is further reflected in the scholarship focused on rural issues, which are frequently understood as marginal to the main disciplines to which these studies belong. Rural areas remain under-prioritized, under-resourced, and misunderstood—plagued by inefficiencies that create persistent social and economic lags, especially in comparison to urban spaces. These perceptions directly strengthen already existing social divides along economic, political, and spatial lines. Rural studies, and certainly the chapters contained within this book, concern the lived experiences of significant proportions of national populations and concern the fates and welfare of entire regions.
