Rural development remains a major challenge for governments of
developing countries such as Pakistan. While a broad range of state
and donor interventions impact the lives of poor farmers -who
provide a significant proportion of the labour force -
comprehensive consideration of these combined interactions remains
inadequate. Focussing on Pakistan, this book discusses the
political economy of agrarian poverty and underdevelopment in the
region. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the combined
impact of state and donor interventions, as well as that of
resistance attempts, to alter the status quo within Pakistan. It
questions the relevance of state institutions and policies
contending with the problems of farmers in Pakistan, and how
donor-led policies and programmes also influence their lives. It
draws on findings that have emerged from interviews of over 200
respondents including government officials, donor agency
representatives and different categories of poor farmers, during
eleven months of fieldwork in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab.
This research reveals some divergences between state and donor
policies, but it finds more prominent convergences, which in turn
enable the landed rural elite to benefit from market-based and
capital-intensive processes of agricultural growth, without
offering substantial opportunities for poor farmers. Reflecting the
need to become less insular when discussing solutions to rural
development, and demonstrating how state policies and institutions
can interconnect with donor funded programmes, this book will be of
interest to students and scholars of South Asian Politics and
Development Studies.
