Abstract
This contribution provides a summary of a series of roundtables
which took place at York University in January 2003. The
encountel; organized by the Centre for Research on Latin
America and the Caribbean (CERUC), brought together a
diverse group of academics, non-govemmental organizations,
and representatives of the general public to discuss the
challenges of rural community development in the era of
neoliberal globalization. Topics ranged from economic
globalization, agriculture, and ecology to culture and identity,
and the development policies of the Govemment of Canada.
Case studiespresented by the participants covered a wide variety
of nations, including Chile, Ecuadol; Laos, Cambodia, and
Mexico, among others. It is the hope of the author that, in the
spirit of the encountel; this short piece can contribute to the
development of linkages across the hemisphere between those
interested in the issues of rural development and economic
globalization.
