Rural Progress, Rural Decay: Neoliberal Adjustment Policies and Local Initiatives

How do rural development programs, especially those run by nongovernmental organizations, cope in a time of structural adjustment programs and economic liberalization? Using Ecuador as a prototype of many other countries, Rural Progress, Rural Decay explores the adverse consequences of neoliberal macroeconomic policies on equitable development and compares them with experiences elsewhere in Latin America and other parts of the developing world.
