在当代农村研究中，无论是理论研究还是实证研究，都明显缺乏关于农村地方政府性质变化的研究。尽管规模和连续几轮的地方政府重组在英国的意义，很少有人写在这个话题从农村的角度来看。相反，关于地方政治变革的研究往往集中于地方施政和地方伙伴关系-施政制度的政府外方面-而不是地方政府本身。与此相反，本文借鉴战略关系国家理论，探讨农村地方政府的结构和制度的变化，并分析这些如何可以与那些在农村地区的政治权力集团的国家战略的变化。在这方面，本文借鉴了当前和以前几轮的地方政府重组，以说明新的治理对象，新的国家战略和新的霸权项目是如何出现的，作为这种重组过程的结果。
There is a notable absence in contemporary rural studies – of both a theoretical and empirical nature – concerning the changing nature of rural local government. Despite the scale and significance of successive rounds of local government reorganisation in the UK, very little has been written on this topic from a rural perspective. Instead research on local political change has tended to concentrate on local governance and local partnerships – on the extra-governmental aspects of the governance system – rather than on local government itself. In contrast, this paper draws upon strategic-relational state theory to explore the changing structures and institutions of rural local government, and analyse how these can be related to the changing state strategies of those groups which are politically powerful in rural areas. In this respect, the paper draws on current and previous rounds of local government reorganisation to illustrate how new objects of governance, new state strategies and new hegemonic projects are emerging as a consequence of such restructuring processes.
