[Outline and purpose of the course]

Over the past decades, a shrinking population has become the normal trajectory for many rural regions as agriculture has been restructured and economic opportunities have exceedingly concentrated in metropolitan areas. The lower the proportion of the young and economically active population in an area, the lesser the chance of reversing the economic decline locally. Thus, maintaining production activities and revitalizing rural communities have been primary concerns of policymaking in East Asia. Responding to the challenge of globalization and increased competition from other areas in the same country or from another part of the world, the actors in rural areas need to apply new strategies, based on mobilization and the interconnection of different fields and assets. An important step in developing and implementing policies is a participatory process involving all concerned actors. The process with the involvement of both government and civil society at the national, regional and local level is crucial for the success of any innovative strategy or policy approach to revitalization. Through eight lectures and class discussions, students are expected to learn the issues of depopulation and strategies for community revitalization in rural areas of East Asia.
