The emergence of China as a global economic powerhouse, the
uncertain path of Russia towards a market economy, and the
integration of ten Central and Eastern European countries into the
European Union (EU) have occupied the minds and agendas of many
policy-makers, business leaders and scholars from around the world
at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first
century. Twenty years ago these developments were unimaginable. The
impact of these changes is so vast that the importance of
understanding the forces that unleashed this process, how these
changes became possible, and what the lessons are for other
developing countries, cannot be overestimated. This book is the
first effort to analyze the economics and politics of agricultural
reforms by comparing the reform processes, their causes and their
effects across this vast region. The authors draw on a vast set of
studies and new data, which compare reforms and economic impacts in
more than 25 countries, to come up with a series of conclusions and
implications on the role of economic reforms in growth, and the
importance of initial conditions and political constraints in
explaining the choices that were made and their effects. The book
analyzes some of the most successful sets of agricultural policies
in history that have lifted people out of poverty, raising
productivity and incomes by staggering amounts. At the same time
the book explains the reasons behind dramatic failures in policy
processes and reforms that caused hunger, poverty and which had
devastating effects on economic growth and development for millions
of other people.
