By using the community economies approach and the method of reading for economic difference, this paper seeks to draw attention to the emotional and caring work of the postmasters and to explicate how they help abate isolation, improve wellbeing and provide a sense of citizenship to the rural communities they serve. In doing so, it attends to the absences in the conventional regulatory economics discourse of postal offices and redescribes them as a universal, even if lingering, redistributive social infrastructure. It also discusses the unacknowledged costs of the emotional and caring labor of postal employees which evade the traditional economic purview and suggests possible policy interventions.

This article investigates three types of embeddedness of Fisheries Local Action Groups in Poland (FLAGs—area-based cross-sectoral partnerships operating in fisheries, aquaculture and related domains) within local and external organisational environments: institutional, structural and relational. We compare the results of A) content analysis of legal administrative documents about FLAGs (reflecting institutional embeddedness), B) the webometric analysis of hyperlinks to local and external organisations from the websites of FLAGs (reflecting structural embeddedness), with C) findings from semi-structured interviews conducted with FLAG representatives on direct relations with local and external stakeholders (reflecting relational embeddedness). The highest share of FLAGs linked to central government bodies, followed by local governments. Interviewees most frequently identified regional and local authorities, followed by local farmers and entrepreneurs as their main institutional contacts. This discrepancy may reflect the differentiated functions of open and direct communication channels. The links to EU institutions and foreign LAGs were the weakest. The observed pattern of ties indicates that while FLAGs exhibit a degree of local and external embeddedness, typical for MLG, their primary orientation in many cases appears to be securing EU funding rather than engaging in deliberative processes concerning sustainable fisheries policy. These characteristics of embeddedness allow two types of FLAGs to be identified: transformative pro-development and narrow grant-orientated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103791"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144657280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative online survey across several European countries tested five hypotheses regarding the differences between the two groups.

Based on the results, we found that the feeling of being “established” as a farmer is influenced by the mode of entry—whether as a family successor or a newcomer. The two groups differ in their contributions to agriculture and rural development, as well as in their dependency on public support. These differences underscore the importance of considering entry methods when designing support schemes. The results suggest that the efficiency of new entrant support could be strengthened by tailoring schemes that take into account the specific entry methods of farmers.

However, to date, academic research has paid limited attention to their ability to meet the actual objectives of the stakeholders using them in other contexts, such as Latin America. To this end, the present paper analyses five case studies of GI designations, three in Peru and two in Ecuador. A qualitative method centred on the gathering of semi-structured interview data from different actors involved in the development and management of these GIs has been adopted. The analysis of these cases shows that these designations are valued, primarily, as tools for accessing international markets. Yet, the results also point to other objectives, most notably the contribution they can make to product differentiation and the empowerment of producers along the food chain. However, this article identifies a series of obstacles that hinder the meeting of these expectations, including a lack of alignment with the supply chain and market demands, and the multiple scales at which a GI has to be governed. Moreover, it is evident that the GIs are often granted without any consideration of the objectives and expectations of local actors. This appears to explain why, in some of the cases analysed, the GIs continue to exist solely on paper.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103788"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
