- Summary:
- Rural reform has been an important government policy in post-revolutionary Iran. Ali Shakoori examines these policies and their socio-economic impact on rural populations. After reviewing the main debates in rural development literature and providing the historical background of agrarian change in the pre-revolutionary era, he assesses the impact of government policy on agriculture performance and the impact of rural strategies on the village society and economy.
