| Abstract: |
The relevance of global contexts in shaping the experiences of older people living in rural areas has been inadequately explored, theoretically and empirically. The purpose of this chapter is to address this theoretical gap through incorporating global environments into existing Critical Human Ecology Theory and illustrating their relevance through case studies from countries in diverse world regions: Malawi, India, Mexico and Israel. The addition of theoretical constructs from social exclusion and life course theories of cumulative advantage/disadvantage of rural individuals places rural ageing as processes of change over time in rural people and communities and demonstrates the differential impact of global influences on local areas. |
