Rural Spatial Justice: Rural Discontent, Spatial Justice and Disruptive Politics in the 21st Century

从唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）当选到英国退欧，再到欧洲和其他地方民粹主义和右翼政党支持率的上升，近年来出现了一些破坏性的政治运动和事件，这些运动和事件通常被描述为涉及城乡或核心-边缘两极分化，并获得边缘化农村人口的支持。然而，对破坏性政治的研究是零散和片面的，并揭示了我们对农村不满与破坏性政治运动之间联系的理解存在重大差距，动员的地理位置以及物质和感知不平等的重要性。“乡村空间正义”旨在确定农村对空间不公正的不满和感知如何塑造了破坏性政治的动态，调查农村地区社会关系的后果，并通过新的概念视角和方法方法推进选举地理研究。RuralSpatialJustice开发了一个新的空间正义框架来分析导致破坏性政治的因素，并采用混合方法策略，结合统计分析、GIS、大规模调查、民族志、访谈、文本分析和参与性研究。为了阐述一个整体的、比较的视角，RuralSpatialJustice以嵌套的尺度方法考察了英国、欧洲和美国肯塔基州、宾夕法尼亚州和威斯康星州的案例研究，包括选举动员和非选举动员的例子。“乡村空间正义”旨在承认农村社会的多样性，与边缘化社区接触，探讨他们对正义的看法，以及这些看法如何通过破坏性的政治运动和事件产生更广泛的政治和社会后果，并调查实现更公平、更包容的未来的可能性。

From the election of Donald Trump to Brexit to rises in support for populist and right-wing parties in Europe and elsewhere, recent years have witnessed disruptive political movements and events that have commonly been presented as involving urban-rural or core-periphery polarization and drawing support from marginalized rural populations. Yet research examining disruptive politics is fragmented and partial and reveals significant gaps in our understanding of connections between rural discontent and disruptive political movements, the geographies of mobilization and significance of material and perceived inequalities. RuralSpatialJustice aims to establish how rural discontent and perceptions of spatial injustice have shaped dynamics of disruptive politics, to investigate the consequences for social relations within rural localities, and to advance the study of electoral geographies through new conceptual perspectives and methodological approaches. RuralSpatialJustice develops a novel spatial justice framework to analyse the factors contributing to disruptive politics and employs a mixed-methods strategy combining statistical analysis, GIS, large-scale survey, ethnography, interviews, textual analysis and participatory research. In order to elaborate a holistic, comparative perspective, RuralSpatialJustice examines case studies in the UK, Europe and the US states of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin within a nested scale approach, including examples of electoral and non-electoral mobilization. RuralSpatialJustice seeks to recognize the diversity of rural societies, engaging with marginalized communities to explore their perceptions of (in)justice and how these have wider political and societal consequences through articulation in disruptive political movements and events, and investigating possibilities for fairer, more inclusive futures.
