Originally published in 1982, this book provides an important set of basic materials for students of rural development. Key papers have been chosen and arranged, and the editor has provided a general introduction and passages that link the papers, alerting the student to rival theoretical interpretations and to regional parallels and contrasts. The book provides a basis for the analysis of the processes that make rural societies and economies what they are and substantially determine the changes that take place within them. The papers help the reader to understand the nature of the phenomena with which rural development has to deal, and in doing so to begin to evaluate the interventions of agencies and planners.

Reviews for Rural Development: Theories of Peasant Economy and Agrarian Change

'What makes the volume more than useful or handy...is the insight John Harriss brings to the introductions which preface each major section and go considerably beyond simply summarising the arguments of the individual papers...It is difficult to be critical of the Harriss volume. Many of the articles...represent classic thinking on rural development...' Susanne D. Mueller, The Journal of Development Studies, Volume 20, Issue 3.
