Rural poverty is a phenomenon that is widespread yet often ignored
by policy makers and researchers. This edited volume looks
critically at rural poverty in Central Eastern Europe, Russia, the
Caucasus and Central Asia, China and Vietnam in relation to land
reform, farm restructuring and the development of rural markets and
in the context of a large gap between rural and urban incomes and
deteriorating rural social services and infrastructure. Although in
most countries rural poverty has been decreasing in the past few
years, economic growth in rural areas is slow, and rural incomes
are not 'catching up' with the rapid overall growth rates of these
transition economies. In general, the livelihoods of rural dwellers
remain relatively poor. Next to comparative studies, the chapters
in this book explore various aspects of agrarian reform, and
analyze the interlocking or interlinking (land, input and output)
markets that are crucial for rural development that have often
remained weakly developed in transition economies, including case
studies from Russia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Vietnam and
China and a wealth of detailed analysis. These chapters reflect the
striking differences between transition countries in their
processes of rural reform and development of rural poverty. These
differences are generally dependent on the initial conditions at
the eve of transition, the policies implemented, the sequencing of
reforms, and the importance that was given to the sector in the
overall development strategy, such as can be seen if the Asian
transition economies (ATEs) are compared with many of those in
Eastern Europe.
