Synopsis of the Edited Volume

 

Sustainable rural development based on four basic pillars which are Social, Economic, Political and Environment could be achieved with the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which are agreed by the member countries.  According to the report on the 17th session of Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) of United Nations reported that “Sustainable rural development is vital to the economic, social and environmental viability of nations. It is essential for poverty eradication since global poverty is overwhelmingly rural. The manifestation of poverty goes beyond the urban-rural divide; it has sub-regional and regional contexts. It is therefore critical, and there is great value to be gained, by coordinating rural development initiatives that contribute to sustainable livelihoods through efforts at the global, regional, national and local levels, as appropriate. Strategies to deal with rural development should take into consideration the remoteness and potentials in rural areas and provide targeted differentiated approaches.”  Eric Sabourin (2017) Sustainable development led to the leopardization of the notion of development by emphasizing superficial changes without any real change. Technically, the real policy, institutional and economic innovations came before the invention of sustainable development. The problem is that these innovations were forgotten. In fact, the notion of sustainable development continues to be an interesting utopian proposal with no theoretical basis.

The ultimate goals are to improve their life quality and preserve the environment.  The rural-urban gap still existed in the whole world. There are basic needs in rural development for a sustainable future.  Rural development is about a process that seeks social change and sustainable economic development for the rural community´s on-going progress. The ultimate goal is to improve their life quality and preserve the environment.  Justice Mensah & Sandra Ricart Casadevall  (2019) Sustainable development has become the buzzword in development discourse, having been associated with different definitions, meanings and interpretations.  Sustainable Development (SD) has become a ubiquitous development paradigm the catchphrase for international aid agencies, the jargon of development planners, the theme of conferences and academic papers, as well as the slogan of development and environmental activists (Ukaga, Maser, & Reichenbach, 2011). The concept seems to have attracted the broad-based attention that other development concept lacks (ed), and appears poised to remain the pervasive development paradigm for a long time (Scopelliti et al., 2018; Shepherd et al., 2016). 

In this backdrop the book will look in to the aspects of sustainable rural development as the politics at various levels play a decisive role and not always these take the best decisions regarding the rural development.  However some mechanisms must be further developed to comply with the international sustainable development perspectives with regional and local scales including rural areas.  Sustainable and inclusive transformation of rural economies and societies is a natural fit with the ambitions of agenda of Sustainable Development Goals 2030. 

As part of sustainable development goals confrontation, this edited book will be from particularly; contributions from people included in mainstream academic publications from academics, researchers, non-academics and philanthropists within the conceptual and normative frameworks.  Research articles with High quality contributions describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, constructive, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work in all areas of Sustainable Rural Development are cordially invited for the Edited Book.
