Description:	This book is an edited version of the unpublished final report of the cross-national PRIDE research project, which ran from February 1999 to January 2001 and was concerned with Partnerships for Rural Integrated Development in Europe. Four years have passed since the project was first conceived but rural development remains as crucial an issue in Europe today as it was in the mid–late 1990s – as do the hopes and expectations placed upon local partnerships as a tool for its promotion and management. Indeed, that statement is true not just within the borders of the EU but elsewhere in the world, where other governments and local communities struggle with the challenge of transforming essentially agricultural into more broadly based rural economies and of building tools of local governance that can facilitate that process in a way that is sympathetic to local circumstances and to a host of social, political, economic and cultural forces. The research involved focusing on the rural development experience of six member states of the EU, namely, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK, with some additional contextual analysis of material from Ireland and Luxemburg.
