Features: This book covers the discipline system of rural sociology while organically integrating the "three rural issues" (agriculture, rural areas, and farmers) and the construction of new rural areas into each chapter. The book has a rigorous structure, novel arguments, rich content, substantial information, and is informative, thought-provoking, and highly readable. It breaks away from the traditional mindset of discussing rural issues in isolation and the theoretical urban-rural dual structure, examining rural areas within the broader context of the overall urban-rural society. It reflects the scientific development concept of coordinated urban-rural development, coordinated socio-economic progress, and harmonious development between humans and nature, as well as the people-centered development philosophy. From a sociological perspective, it captures the latest dynamics of China's rural reform and development, outlining the development landscape of China's rural areas in the 21st century. This book is suitable for modern distance education for adult undergraduate students, as well as an elective textbook for economics majors and other disciplines in general universities. It is also valuable for professionals in related fields.
