This Discussion Paper includes the contents of a one
day seminar held at Lincoln College on 3 July 1986 for the
first meeting of the New Zealand Rural Economy and Society
Study Group. Included are two papers read by two invited
speakers, an account of the discussions which occurred
throughout the remainder of the day, and a record of those
who attended the meeting. The general tenor and good
attendance of the seminar suggests quite strongly that there
is enthusiastic support for the Study Group. Participants
expressed a need for a longer conference in future, and for
a newsletter to keep participants informed of research
activities. The results of the day's activity showed that
there are many issues awaiting systematic research. In
general, there was widespread support for the promotion of
rural research in order to provide understanding, informed
commentary, and effective policy for rural society. This discussion paper includes the full text of the following papers: Ian Carter, Recent developments in rural research: an overview and the New Zealand experience; Basil M.H. Sharp, Economics and rural society.[Show full abstract]
