Counter-revolution in Egypt's Countryside: Land and Farmers in the Era of Economic ReformRay Bush Zed Books, 2002 - 239 من الصفحات Agriculture is at the centre of Egypt's economy, society and politics. This volume on Egyptian agriculture and rural society combines local research with national rural policy analysis. In particular, it explores the impact of market liberalization policies introduced under pressure from the World Bank, IMF and USAID, and especially of Law 96 of 1992 which fundamentally reversed the gains tenant farmers had obtained under Nasserist reforms nearly 40 years ago. |
