Social change, rural localities and the state: the restructuring of rural wales
Abstract This paper sets out a theoretical framework by means of which contemporary social change in rural localities may be analysed. It emphasises the advantages of theories of restructuring over alternative approaches, and pays particular attention to the role of the state in shaping the pattern of social reorganisation characteristic of contemporary rural change. The main part of the paper constitutes an application of this theoretical framework to an historical analysis of an area of upland Britain — rural Wales. Three phases of development — corresponding to ‘rounds of investment’ — are identified and their characteristics discussed. A fourth phase is suggested as emerging currently, reflecting both the development of a new ‘round of investment’ and the influence of the Thatcherite political project.
