Abstract

W ARD N., L OWE P. and B RIDGES T. (2003) Rural and regional development: the role of the Regional Development Agencies in England, Reg. Studies 37 , 201- 214. The Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) were established in 1999 to promote economic development in the English regions and inherited staff and programmes from the former Rural Development Commission. The paper analyses the evolving role of the RDAs in rural development. It argues that the changing treatment of rural issues in regional development reflects a shift from a national to more regionalized and differentiated conceptions of rurality, and suggests that the 2001 foot and mouth crisis prompted a rethink of the "rural' in the "regional' among RDAs. The paper concludes by reflecting on the future evolution of the RDAs' rural development work.
