The relationship between the agrarian structure of Bangladesh and
its problems of rural development is established in this study
based on four years (1975-79) of field research. The authors
suggest that the concentration of land in the hands of a rural
elite is the principal impediment to the participation of weaker
sections of the peasantry in economic progress. Tracing the failure
of local attempts to change Bangladesh's agrarian structure by
legislative means, they outline a modified program for rural
development that is linked to agrarian reform. Agrarian reform,
Drs. Jannuzi and Peach argue, is the prerequisite for a rural
development strategy that provides for both economic growth and
improved income distribution; thus, approaches to rural development
in Bangladesh that place reliance on new agricultural technology
without first changing the institutions that determine peoples'
relationships to the land are not viable. The authors' policy
recommendations, grounded in new data on the relative proportions
of owners of land, sharecroppers, and the landless, are
supplemented by a theoretical analysis of the institution of
sharecropping and detailed field work methodology.
