First published in 1986, Agrarian Change in Egypt based on
extensive original research as well as field survey of eighteen
villages, analyses and explains the changes in the agricultural
sector in Egypt. It shows how various policies and other factors
have affected agricultural output and how developments triggered by
the 'open door policy' such as inflation, migration, and the shift
in the pricing system have affected agriculture. The Egyptian
experience is fairly typical of agrarian change in many parts of
the developing world where government reforms in the 1960s and
1970s tried to combine considerations of efficiency and equity but
ended up with stagnation. The Egyptian case therefore provides a
good example of the general crisis in agriculture in the developing
world. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers
of agricultural economy, development studies and political economy.
At the end of the 1970s Tunisia was hailed, among developing
countries, as the perfect example of the economic miracle. A decade
later and Tunisia is the perfect example of the economic tragedy.
The rapid development and industrialization - the Tunisian economy
has dramatically shifted from predominantly rural to urban - of the
70s and early 80s was so great as to double per capita income and
prompted the World Bank to promote Tunisia to the "middle income"
league. "Tunisia - Rural Labour and Structural Transformation",
identifies the reasons for the spectacular growth and subsequent
decline of the economy. The main aim of the book, however, is to
analyze this transformation, and its social and economic
implications for the country. In particular, the authors examine
the adjustments in the labour market and their effects on equity
and welfare.
