Chapter 2 in Institutions and Sustainability, 2009, pp 27-41 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The dramatic transition from Communism to market economies across Asia and Europe started in the Chinese countryside in the 1970s. Since then, more than a billion people, many of them very poor, have been affected by radical reforms in agriculture. However, there are enormous differences in the reform strategies that countries have chosen. This paper presents a set of arguments to explain why countries have chosen different those reform policies.
