Resumen
Descripción
The paper begins with a review of the contemporary rural development agenda,
highlighting the primary policy aims of the EU governance and rural development
model. The methodological approach of this study and a review of some of the main
economic, social and cultural characteristics of Iorras Aithneach are then presented.
The second half of the paper focuses on operational strategies of the main rural
development agencies in Iorras Aithneach, and presents an analysis of primary
qualitative data collected in Iorras Aithneach between 2006 and 2008. The analysis of
the qualitative data explores the context of poor engagement in contemporary rural
development programmes in Iorras Aithneach and points to a range of pragmatic
factors (bureaucratic, economic) and socio-cultural factors (tradition and identitybased)
that represent central inhibitors.
