Rural India Facing the 21st Century - Essays on Long Term Village Change and Recent Development Policy (Paperback, First Edition,)

Rural India Facing the 21st Century is a unique study of rural development in South India, conducted over a twenty-year period. Set against the context of international, national and state policies, the book focuses on a number of villages in South India. It examines a wide number of themes, including the stagnation of the "green revolution," growing differentiation and inequality, the ecological crisis, resistance to reform, corruption and the enduring need for state intervention for rural development.Written by an international team of young scholars under the direction of Professor Harriss-White, Rural India Facing the 21st Century draws together a profound analysis of a broad range of issues to provide a masterly overview of overall rural development. Its highly original methodology and findings will be of considerable interest for development policy. The book includes contributions from Diego Colatei, Susan Erb, Lisa Gold, D Jayaraj, Paul Nillesen, Ruhi Saith and M V Srinivasan.
