The agrarian reform issue is very much alive -- on the political agenda of many countries in Asia and Latin America and Southern Africa, both as a strategy for achieving greater equity and social justice as well as growth and development for the large numbers of poor people in developing and transition economies. This volume examines how agrarian reform shapes and is shaped by the forces of globalization, producing both desired and unintended consequences. It explores the current state of redistributive reform in the developing world, and attempts to answer the difficult questions leveled against a program that has been wih us for more than a century -- with mixed results. This volume brings together the experience from accross the developing and developed world, and underlines the positive contributions to agrarian reform of continued dialogue between actors from the state, non-governmental organizations, citizens' movements, the private sector and the academe. - From the Book
