Agricultural Transformation in a Global History Perspective: Routledge Explorations in Economic History

Editat de Ellen Hillbom, Patrick Svensson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2015
History teaches us that agricultural growth and development is necessary for achieving overall better living conditions in all societies. Although this process may seem homogenous when looked at from the outside, it is full of diversity within. This book captures this diversity by presenting eleven independent case studies ranging over time and space. By comparing outcomes, attempts are made to draw general conclusion and lessons about the agricultural transformation process.

Recenzii

"The editors have blended a textbook with a research reference volume to create a publication that I think will appeal to many audiences." - American Journal of Agricultural Economics
"Overall, the 11 cases are an interesting collection of studies that have surprises (case 9) and examples of 'failures' (case 2), mixed in with well-documented illustrations of how different factors can play lead roles in the transformation process." - American Journal of Agricultural Economics

Descriere

This book uses a global history approach in order to reach a greater understanding of the agricultural transformation process, using a wide number of comparisons over time and space. The book seeks to identify key factors for agricultural transformation, through the use of micro level case studies, and to assess their importance in a global perspective.
