From the election of Donald Trump to Brexit to rises in support for populist and right-wing parties in Europe and elsewhere, recent years have witnessed disruptive political movements and events that have commonly been presented as involving urban-rural or core-periphery polarization and drawing support from marginalized rural populations. Yet research examining disruptive politics is fragmented and partial and reveals significant gaps in our understanding of connections between rural discontent and disruptive political movements, the geographies of mobilization and significance of material and perceived inequalities. RuralSpatialJustice aims to establish how rural discontent and perceptions of spatial injustice have shaped dynamics of disruptive politics, to investigate the consequences for social relations within rural localities, and to advance the study of electoral geographies through new conceptual perspectives and methodological approaches. RuralSpatialJustice develops a novel spatial justice framework to analyse the factors contributing to disruptive politics and employs a mixed-methods strategy combining statistical analysis, GIS, large-scale survey, ethnography, interviews, textual analysis and participatory research. In order to elaborate a holistic, comparative perspective, RuralSpatialJustice examines case studies in the UK, Europe and the US states of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin within a nested scale approach, including examples of electoral and non-electoral mobilization. RuralSpatialJustice seeks to recognize the diversity of rural societies, engaging with marginalized communities to explore their perceptions of (in)justice and how these have wider political and societal consequences through articulation in disruptive political movements and events, and investigating possibilities for fairer, more inclusive futures.

从唐纳德·特朗普当选到英国脱欧，再到欧洲和其他地方对民粹主义和右翼政党的支持上升，近年来出现了破坏性的政治运动和事件，这些运动和事件通常被描述为涉及城乡或核心与外围的两极分化和拉拢。边缘化农村人口的支持。然而，对破坏性政治的研究是支离破碎和片面的，并揭示了我们对农村不满情绪与破坏性政治运动之间的联系、动员的地域以及物质和感知不平等的重要性的理解存在重大差距。农村空间正义旨在确定农村的不满和对空间不公正的看法如何塑造破坏性政治的动态，调查农村地区社会关系的后果，并通过新的概念视角和方法论推进选举地理的研究。 RuralSpatialJustice 开发了一种新颖的空间正义框架来分析造成破坏性政治的因素，并采用结合统计分析、地理信息系统、大规模调查、民族志、访谈、文本分析和参与性研究的混合方法策略。为了阐述整体的比较视角，RuralSpatialJustice 采用嵌套尺度方法审查了英国、欧洲和美国肯塔基州、宾夕法尼亚州和威斯康星州的案例研究，包括选举和非选举动员的例子。 RuralSpatialJustice 旨在认识农村社会的多样性，与边缘化社区合作，探讨他们对正义（不）正义的看法，以及这些看法如何通过破坏性政治运动和事件的阐述产生更广泛的政治和社会后果，并调查更公平、更包容的未来的可能性。
