Abstract

It is now generally believed by a good many rural and urban sociologists that it is anachronistic to study rural or urban societies in trying to come to terms with the antagonistic urban-rural relationship. Moreover, it is held that not only the distinction between rural and urban, but also the antagonistic urban-rural relationship have disappeared in a real sense as a result of the radical changes in rural and urban societies, especially in the midst of rapid economic growth, as seen in Japan as well. 　This series of articles constitutes an argument against this position. I intend to make clear that the viewpoint of overcoming the antagonistic urban-rural relationship is still important in studying a variety of modern social problems. They include the antagonism between advanced and developing countries, international and domestic disputes, overpopulation in urban areas and depopulation in rural areas, urban social problems, environmental and energy problems, and so on, which have arisen as a result of unequal and unbalanced regional development on an international and national scale under the globalization of modern capitalism. This article is one of the series. In it, I intend to examine Dickinson's theory of region. Dickinson insisted that the old distinction between rural and urban was now virtually meaningless.
