Abstract
December 1997 saw the Government publish its proposals for the establishment of Regional Development Agencies in England which, inter alia, will incorporate the rural regeneration work of the Rural Development Commission. These institutional changes come at a crucial time for rural policy with reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and European Structural Funds also on the agenda. This paper critically examines the prospects for an invigorated relationship between rural policy and regional development and makes a number of suggestions for further institutional reforms to improve the co-ordination of public policy for rural areas at the regional, national and European levels.
