Rural Policy

Rural development in Poland has excelled at a rapid pace since EU accession. Much has been achieved. Going forward, rural policies will need to maintain this momentum, address some of the most intractable policy problems, such as persistent pockets of poverty, and ensure that growth and prosperity is experienced in all regions. Poland’s research community has and should continue to play a pivotal role in addressing these issues. This article follows on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) 2018 Rural Policy Review of Poland. It provides a brief summary of the main findings of this study and the conceptual framework which guided it and proposes four main lessons (and challenges) for research community.

The article presents the evaluation of multifunctionality of Czech agriculture and its individual farm categories in the period of 2003–2005. It compares the situation before and after the EU accession. The assessment is based on the set of indicators for the three elementary axes of multifunctionality: economic efficiency, relations to environment and relations to rural development. Applying the presented method of multi-criterion evaluation and during the period of 2003–2005 on average, the highest level of multifunctionality is found in the category of farms of physical persons with 101–300 ha (score 174) and the lowest level in the category of collective farms – cooperatives and joint stock companies (score about 115). However, compared with the pre-accession period, the collective farms show the highest growth of the score (by 17%) after the EU accession.

Conflict Model

Rural development programmes have been undertaken by the governments of developing countries not only to uplift the rural poor but also to introduce modern techniques or innovations for bringing about changes in desirable directions. One of the ingredients for the success of the programmes is the active association and willing cooperation of the rural people. How can this be achieved ? Two intervention techniques are discussed in depth: the harmony model and the conflict model. The latter model, the author concludes, has the potency in mobilizing people at grass roots for effective and active participation.

This chapter, which discusses the evolution of innovative research on game playing in the household and online, such as in studies of massive multiplayer, three-dimensional Internet game environments, demonstrates the need for Internet Studies to deal with the ebbs and flows of the market and the rapid pace of technical change. The video game industry is one of the most profitable and dynamic industries in entertainment. Its future will possibly add a mix of social connectivity and continuing advances in technology as players seek each other as much as they seek games. Casual games are frequently incorporated into pre-existing social networks. Serious games did result in a change in knowledge, opinions, and possible future actions. The research community surrounding games comes from communication, psychology, cultural and critical studies, sociology, and now even business, economics, and computer science.

Comprehensive Study

The problem of regional underdevelopment, particularly in tribal India, has long been recognized and more than one political party has campaigned on this issue. The Indian constitution and state and central government development plans have included special clauses aimed at assisting those groups, the tribals or adivasis, who are most affected by the problem. Reports have been commissioned and investigations conducted, but rarely have these ended in constructive or relevant action. The work of anthropologists over a number of generations since the 1920s has perhaps done most to tell us of the real depth of the problem as it has affected central India. Foremost amongst them was W. V. Grigson, the aboriginal tribes enquiry officer of the government of the Central Provinces and Berar, whose 1944 report stands as the most comprehensive study available of the condition of the tribal peoples of this region at the end of the colonial period.
