This paper attempts to reorientate locality specific studies of counterurbanisation within the wider processes of global and national socio‐economic change. It draws on concepts of Regulation Theory and begins with an explanation of the global and national influences associated with rural restructuring. These influences, together with the emergence of a reconstituted rurality, are traced through to the local level using Bridgetown in the south‐west of Western Australia as a vehicle for conceptual analysis.
