Description and Table of Contents

Description

Rural Development in Asia reflects Etienne's long-standing involvement in the development problems of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, India, and Pakistan. All five countries share problems of limited resources and large populations, and have a common goal of alleviating hunger and poverty. Etienne's pragmatic conclusions have major implications for rural development throughout the Third World.
