520    Rapid urbanisation, inequalities in income and service 
       levels within and between communities, and population and 
       economic decline are challenging the viability of rural 
       communities worldwide. Achieving healthy and viable rural 
       communities in the face of rapidly changing social, 
       ecological and economic conditions is a declared global 
       priority. As a result, governments all over the world, in 
       both developed and developing countries, are now 
       prioritizing rural and regional development through 
       policies and programs aimed at enhancing the livelihoods 
       of people living in rural regions. In recognition of the 
       important roles that research can play in rural 
       development, a range of systematic literature reviews have
       rightly examined key priorities in rural development 
       including education, gender, economic development 
       (especially agriculture), and health and nutrition (see 
       Department for International Development [DFID], 2011). 
       However, none of these works has systematically examined 
       the extent to which rural development as a field of 
       research is progressing towards facilitating sustainable 
       change. This book evaluates trends in rural development 
       research across the five continental regions of the world.
       Specifically, it assesses the total publication output 
       relating to rural development, the types of publications, 
       their quality and impact over the last three decades. 
       Additionally, it evaluates the continental origins of the 
       publications as well as the extent to which such 
       publications engage with issues of sustainability. The aim
       is to determine whether the rural development field is 
       growing in a manner that reflects research and policy 
       priorities and broader social trends such as 
       sustainability. Development policy makers, practitioners, 
       those teaching research methods and systematic literature 
       reviews to undergraduate and graduate students, and 
       researchers in general will find the book both topical and
       highly relevant.
