Summary, etc. Can land reform be an effective means of reducing the absolute numbers of people living in poverty in rural areas? The social and economic importance of land ownership in many developing Countries is widely acknowledged, yet there is a declining concern for land reform in the international community. The author has drawn on extensive first hand experience, as well as empirical and theoretical work, to explore the extent to which such policies are successful in rapidly reducing poverty and increasing agricultural growth rates.<br/><br/>Using a wide range of case studies the author illustrates the impact of schemes which result in a partial, complete or non-existent re-allocation of land. He finds that land reform can play a major part in stimulating the rural economy, particularly in providing the rural population with a greater command over their own food supply. Without further changes in the agricultural infra structure and in the non-farm activities of an under-developed region, however, it can be less effective. Discussing countries as diverse as China, Kenya, India, Bolivia, Egypt and South Korea the book offers new insights to anyone working in rural development.
