Structural Transformation and Rural Change Revisited

By Eric Thomas White, Sandrine Freguin-Gresh, Bruno Losch, et al.

Book Overview

This book makes a compelling case for reintegrating structural issues into agricultural and rural development policies, which have for the last 30 years over-focused on short-term issues. It shows how the liberalization of agriculture in many late developing countries has not in fact led to the development of the vibrant rural non-farm economy so often discussed in the literature. Neither has it led to a large-scale integration of agricultural producers into the global economy.
