Ireland: Rural development in an agrarian society
梳理了爱尔兰农村发展文献中的五个主题：农业调整及其对土地利用和人口的影响、农村就业创造、社会剥夺、资源管理冲突以及制度创新，适合关注农村经济与社会发展的学者快速了解研究脉络。
Problems of economic and social development dominate the Irish rural development literature. This article distinguishes five separate themes. They are: the pattern of agricultural adjustment and its consequences for land use and demography; the evaluation of alternative means of creating employment in rural areas; the extent and pattern of social deprivation; the investigation of conflicts in the management of rural resources; and the potential of institutional innovation to tap local resources and initiative. The major contributions to each theme are discussed.
