The ties that bind Central Asia to the Middle East have
strengthened dramatically in recent years, as political
emancipation from Soviet rule has spurred the restoration of
material culture shared by Turkic and Iranian peoples. Political
institutions and farming practices, however, are still based on the
Soviet model, with centralized large-scale agricultural production
serving Russian rather than local needs.
The contributors to this volume examine land reform and
agricultural development in Russia, Central Asia, North Africa, and
the Middle East. Their studies bring into question the evolutionary
view of agricultural development, from small-scale subsistence to
large-scale commercialized agricultural systems, and emphasize the
need to understand the specific political, historical, and
geographic contexts of rural development and land reform. This
volume is a must for regional specialists, historians, economists,
and those working on rural development issues throughout
Eurasia.
