Editorial Reviews

Review

This work looks not so much at the obstacles to reform as the ways to get around them through imaginative management. The proper setting of an agenda for action, the process of making intelligent decisions and the implementation of reform are all analyzed in depth.

(Foreign Affairs )

An essential work of reference for researchers investigating contemporary socio-political change in the Latin American countryside.

(Development and Change )
