The Rural-Migration Nexus

Part of the book series: Rethinking Rural ((RR))

  • 120 Accesses

Abstract

In this concluding chapter, the ‘rural-migration nexus’ is further extrapolated. Detailing how processes of globalisation—of which migration is a part—change and have impact on rural places, facilitating consequences for both migrants and ‘host’ communities with a range of varied processual, conflicting, and sometimes contradictory differences and similarities across rural spaces, selected emergent themes covered across each of the chapters are drawn together highlighting wider social and policy implications and future research trajectories in relation to illuminating further the rural-migration nexus nested within the global-local relationship.
