Discussing countries as diverse as China, Kenya, India, Bolivia, Egypt and South Korea the book offers new insights to anyone working in rural development.

With the use of wide-ranging case studies the author clearly illustrates the impact of schemes intended to re-allocate land in developing countries. Concluding that land reform can play a major part in stimulating rural economies this book explores the extent to which such policies can successfully reduce poverty and increase agricultural growth.
