This book delves into the intricate interplay between rural spaces and the competing narratives of globalization and nationalism. Through a comprehensive examination of case studies from various countries, including Croatia, Belgium, Australia, the United States, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Italy, and Spain, this volume sheds light on the contemporary status of rural change, focusing on sustainability and situated within the context of ongoing debates about globalization and economic nationalism.

It is crucial to recognize that the multifaceted roles that rural communities play in economic and social systems often go unnoticed in discussions about globalization and economic nationalism. However, rural communities, economies, and landscapes are intricately interconnected with global industries, migrant flows, and markets, while simultaneously being subjected to nationalist economic policies and strategies. The chapters in this book aim to unravel the complex web of relationships between people and industries that exist at once on a local level and are simultaneously connected to regional and global processes.

The volume challenges us to critically evaluate the oversimplified messaging of highly complex systems and offers valuable insights into the processes of change at local scales across major global regions. Sustaining Rural Systems will be of immense interest to upper-level students, researchers, and scholars in the fields of rural sociology, human geography, and development studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Geographical Review, further enhancing its significance and impact.
