''Rural development stems from combining a wide range of different and often refigured rural resources in new ways. As a result these resources flow into new activities, interactions, <br />transactions and networks. The effects of this become particularly <br />significant when activities and relationships start to mutually <br />reinforce each other. This is when synergy is created; especially when new town-countryside relations emerge that support the newly emerging activities and networks. <br />The contributions in this volume help expand our understanding of the creative patterns which shape resources, activities, transactions and networks and which build new relationships between them.<br />The contributions to this book have been developed in the context of the ETUDE programme that is conducted (in the period 2007-2009) within the 6th Framework of the European Union. <br /><br />European Perspectives on Rural Development is a series, which offers new and fresh insights into European rural development. At the same time, it emphasises the <br />specific and heterogeneous nature of the European countryside, its regions and <br />agricultural systems.<br /><br />The series is published under the auspices of the Circle of European Studies (CERES) and Wageningen University.<br />''<br />
