This book is essentially a selection of the articles written by Arther T. Mosher during his long career as a rural development expert. Also appended at the end is a complete list of writings by him. The Agricultural Development Council has chosen to publish this book to honour the author, who was its President during 1967-1973, The publication of this book is welcome in the context of the recent rediscovery of rural development as a principal plank of need-oriented develop¬ment strategies. A basic defect of writing on rural development has been excessive resort to stereotype rehtoric, over-enthusiasm and a certain pedanticism. Fortunately, Mosher's orientation is practical, not doctrinaire. Although the book is titled "Thinking About Rural Development", the author keeps on bring¬ing together the thinking and practice into their validly interactive perspectives. Not surprisingly so, for the author has himself worked in the field as a rural development practitioner for a considerable length of time.

- The aim of this papers is to analyze and verify the social effects of the collective practices addressed as rural movements in the European literature about rural development of last decades. The reference is to those practices developing new ways of farming and models of rural development. The evidence of these processes overcomes the theoretical perspectives of the last century about the unavoidable disappearance of peasant world. However, the point is to interpret these new practices considering also the constitution of the processes of governance as the new form of social regulation in the post-fordist restructuring phase. Insofar, this work aims to demonstrate the irreducibility of these new rural practices to the mechanisms of governance.Key words: rural movements; community development; governance; biopolitics; post-fordist restructuring; collective action.
