Integrated Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas in Central
European Countries presents the exciting results of original
research on the integrated development of agriculture and rural
areas in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. This edited
collection includes academics from both Western and Central
European Countries who worked together on a three-year research
project. The project yielded unique data that covers different
aspects of rural development-both agriculture and non-agricultural
activities-and is of special relevance owing to these countries'
status as new members of the European Union. Following an
introduction into the transition process and the current situations
in each country, variations in farm performance are analyzed, a
detailed look is taken at the rural development in the EU, the role
of non-agricultural farm diversification is analyzed, and the major
findings of the research are presented. This exceptional collection
compiled by Davidova, Bauer, and Cuddy, will appeal to scholars of
agriculture and rural economics and policy.
Transitions, Institutions and the Rural Sector is a series of
essays examining and analyzing the rural transformations in the
transition economies of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The
authors included in this volume employ a variety of interesting and
insightful approaches to the topic, including synthetic regional
analysis, analytic comparative studies, and unique case studies
drawn from fieldwork. The first part of the book presents
comparative studies of agrarian reform during the past decade of
transition, while the second contains detailed studies of
individual countries. Part of the Rural Economies in Transition
series, Transitions, Institutions and the Rural Sector explores the
complexities of rural transformations and the often unanticipated
challenges faced by both the public and private sector in
developing countries. Editor Max Spoor has assembled a set of
thoroughly researched and persuasively argued pieces that fill a
major gap in the scholarship on transition economies
Of the ten Central and Eastern European countries that have applied
for membership in the European Union, Romania ranks among the
largest and most impoverished. Romania represents the final
challenge in the European Union's enlargement to the east, largely
due to its major, but underdeveloped, agriculture and food sectors.
The agriculture industry, which is a major component of the
national economy, extends its pervasive influence to both Romanian
social life and environment. Consequently, the transition towards a
market oriented economic system will pose new obstacles for the
country's farmers, processors, traders, and policymakers. While
identifying the impediments that surround Romanian agriculture and
its inevitable progression towards transition is a simple task, the
challenges lie in recommending solutions. Through careful analysis
of numerous recent studies on reform policies in the Romanian
agri-food sector during its economic transition, this comprehensive
examination offers perspicacious suggestions and insights on the
following topics in particular: international trade, credit for
agricultural development, price policies, and rural development.
The conclusions reached are not only of domestic importance and
application, they are also of immediate relevance for many
post-socialist countries, for which the agri-food sector is a
principal vehicle for rural development.
