520			_aThe agrarian question has remained one of the central and abiding concerns of classical political economy. That it should have been the focal point of political economic enquiry in the early years of the discipline is not very surprising. What is, however, intriguing is the persistence of this question today in the concluding years of the thorntury. The question persists because it has sod in those parts of the world (Asia, Afn ind nerica), which are yet to be nese regions the agrarian question still rematas no centre of economic and political discourse. The papers in this volume form a part of this discourse. The varying interpretations of the agrarian question, read in a specifically Asian context, frame the canvas of this volume. Some of the countries featured are China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The sixteen papers present a fascinating picture of rural transformation in Asia, outlining the most critical issues and demarcating the essential benchmarks. The contributors to this volume come from a wide variety of disciplines including economics, history and sociology.
