| Résumé: | The role of African agriculture in global markets and the role of agriculture in national economies have changed profoundly in the last twenty years. Economic reforms have forced the withdrawal of the state from agricultural markets. Livelihoods have become increasingly commercialised. Rural households are restructuring the ways they manage their economic activities and transforming their social relations. This book is about the contradictions of liberalisation and the complexity of farmers' responses tothe changing roles of states and markets. Its theoretical and empirical material will interest policymakers, development practitioners and scholars of development studies, political economy, economics, political science, and sociology. |
