Most studies in this field have been looking at developing countries, in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa, but actually Russia shows to be an important and fascinating case, also because rural governance has been strong under socialist planning, while weakening severely during the first decade of transition. The crumbling of many of the collective and state farms, made it possible that large-scale land acquisitions took place, concentrating the land of these large farms in even larger agricultural holdings. Conflicts arose, as much land was transferred to capital groups in “shady deals” and illegal evictions took place, but civil society organizations are weakly developed, while the role of the State (very often supporting large-scale agriculture and animal husbandry) has been strengthened since Putin came to power.","PeriodicalId":374407,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Companion to Rural Planning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127410835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While renewable energy may \u0000not conform to traditional definitions of ‘extraction’ it nonetheless derives production \u0000from rural space, thus contributing to long-standing concerns around the balance of \u0000power between urban and rural. Debates around REI decision-making have \u0000demonstrated a ‘gap’ between national support for a transition to renewable energy \u0000and local resistance to the development of REI. This chapter presents an empirical \u0000study of three cases of planning decisions on REI projects in Wales, which were made \u0000under the UK’s Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime. It draws on data \u0000from official archives to help unpack the challenges of planning both for rural \u0000communities in light of major renewable energy infrastructure in a rural context.","PeriodicalId":374407,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Companion to Rural Planning","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114197600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
