Ireland: Rural development in an agrarian society

ALAN MATTHEWS*

Department of Economics, Trinity College, Dublin Ireland

Summary

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.
