About this magazine
The biggest stories for rural development policy at the end of the century involve regulatory and trade policy. Federal programs have undergone some important changes, and several new initiatives are beginning to have an impact on rural development. This issue of Rural Conditions and Trends examines these and other Federal policy changes during 1999 and early 2000, focusing on their potential implications for rural development. It includes special articles on financial reform legislation, trade adjustments, and the New Markets and Livable Communities initiatives.
