A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Implementation, intergovernmental relations, and rural studies: A review
Abstract One essential part of rural studies is the investigation and understanding of planning and policy-making in rural localities. Recently, implementation has become a focal theme due to the recognition of a significant divide between the stated policies of rural planning agencies and what actually happens on the ground. Implementation can be conceptualised in different ways, ranging from the more traditional, rational approaches to more contemporary politicised viewpoints. The recent publication of three texts on the theme of policy-making and central-local government relations provide a useful context for a review of research in these areas. The conceptual framework laid down as a result of the ESRC research initiative on central-local relations appears to offer a useful springboard for rural researchers wishing to immerse themselves in contemporary and stimulating studies of policy and power.
