Reviews
A serious attempt to evaluate critically the progress up till now of land reform in the transition countries. Particularly valuable are the attention to rural poverty, the wide range of countries covered, the case studies of countries such as Moldova, Russia and Vietnam, and the detailed studies of particular issues (eg cotton production in Central Asia, and the relationship between private property rights and investment in Chinese agriculture). An important contribution to studies of transition, development, poverty alleviation, agricultural economics, and the countries concerned. Michael Ellman, Amsterdam University, the Netherlands The various contributions in the book share a commitment to emperical studies based upon large surveys, an approach addressed to scholars and policy-makers alike. ...the book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on postsocialism. It will surely gain unanimous appreciation of the international community of scholars and policy-makers interested in land reform and povert in postsocialist countries. Stefan Dorondel, Francisc I Rainer Instiute of Anthropology, Bucharest Journal of Peasant Studies
