Most people in developing countries are still rural, their lives and work bound up with the relations of agricultural production. The policies of stabilization and structural adjustment of the 1980s and 1990s have had wide-ranging and profound implications for their conditions of life and work. This work brings together theoretical and empirical research into agrarian relations and explores what is happening to rural societies in the current phase of global capitalism. The contributors cover a wide range of issues and experiences, including: the effectiveness and reliability of different types of land reform; the macroeconomic context of liberalized trade and mobile financial flows; country-specific changes in agrarian relations in the context of globalization; and the nature of, and constraints on, land reforms in the contemporary period. While the specific concerns and historical processes of each country and region are different, there are common concerns and worries, especially with regard to the impact on rural working people of new policies of globalization and liberalization.

This book evaluates the relevance of classical debates on agrarian transition and extends the horizon of contemporary debates in the Indian context, linking national trends with regional experiences. It identifies new dynamics in agrarian political economy and presents a comprehensive account of diverse aspects of capitalist transition both at theoretical and empirical levels. The essays discuss several neglected domains in agricultural economics such as discursive dimensions of agrarian relations and limitations of stereotypical binaries between capital and non-capital, rural and urban sectors, agriculture and industry, and accumulation and subsistence. With contributions from major scholars in the field, this volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of agriculture, economics, political economy, sociology, rural development and development studies.

Henry Bernstein argues that class dynamics should be the starting point of any analysis of agrarian change. Providing an accessible introduction to agrarian political economy, he shows clearly how the argument for "bringing class back in" provides an alternative to inherited conceptions of the agrarian question. He also ably illustrates what is at stake in different ways of thinking about class dynamics and the effects of agrarian change in today's globalized world.
