| Abstract | This book seeks to provide a basis for reexamining rural development policy by presenting comprehensive and current information on the effectiveness of various rural policy approaches. An introduction that defines development terminology and discusses changing policy needs is followed by 13 chapters that represent the best recent research assessing rural development strategies. Included are such education-related issues as school-community relationship, local educational attainment and attitudes, technical assistance and training for new businesses, and training the unemployed to start businesses. The final two chapters discuss the influences of institutional and community contexts. Chapters are: (1) "Reinventing Rural Policy Research" (J. Norman Reid, David W. Sears); (2)"Building Local Economic Development Strategies" (Ron Shaffer, Glen C. Pulver); (3) "Applying Strategic Planning to Rural Economic Development" (Robert Blair, B. J.
