Politics of Agricultural Co-Operativism
Beschreibung:
This book is a detailed analysis of the evolution of state-sponsoredagricultural co-operativism in Peru, an Andean country with high levelsof land concentration and widespread rural poverty. Most Peruvianagricultural co-operatives were organized during the military populistgovernment of Velasco Alvarado which, after radical land reform,transformed expropriated estates into co-operatives. From the start,these projects became subject to multiple pressures that ranged fromunfavourable government economic policies -- designed to promoteimport-substitution industrialization at the expense of theagricultural sector -- to the growth of the co-operative bureaucracyand the deterioration of labour discipline.
