How does one meet the challenges of rural development in a country that is arguably one of the least "rural" among the OECD? Faced with high population density, close proximity of urban areas and urban-rural linkages, rural areas in the Netherlands have witnessed a gradual disappearance of characteristically rural landscapes and a deterioration of biodiversity. The OECD Rural Policy Review of the Netherlands explores these issues.

This review analyses the challenges of strengthening regulatory governance in Brazil to improve economic growth, with appropriate regulatory frameworks for core infrastructure sectors. The debate on a market-based economy has now entered a new phase in Brazil, addressing the broader context of quality regulation and the reduction of regulatory risk. The improved macroeconomic situation and the progress made by the sectoral regulatory agencies have paid off, and there is also wider social participation in the improvement of the regulatory framework with a stronger consumer engagement.

Finland is one of the most rural countries within the OECD and it is also one of the early adopters of a multi-sectoral approach to rural policy. As such, the origins and evolution of Finnish rural policy are of great interest to both OECD countries and non-OECD countries alike, many of whom are still in the early stages of development. A first rural policy review was conducted for Finland in 1995, and this edition offers a unique look at how Finnish rural policy has evolved since the initial recommendations made in 1995.

Rapid evolutions in major industries, and related issues such as delocalisation, offshoring and the decline of manufacturing, are causing concern among both policy makers and citizens in OECD countries. Globalisation and Regional Economies: Can OECD Regions Compete? suggests some reason for optimism, however, and presents evidence that region-specific advantages in OECD countries remain a significant source of productivity gain, even for firms with a global reach.

"OECD Regions at a Glance" presents a set of regional indicators – mainly in the form of graphs and maps – in order to identify those regions that outperform their country as a whole or the OECD area and those that lag behind. The patterns of development may differ widely in urban and rural areas, for example, and some areas may lag behind even when the national economy is performing well.
