Globalization and Global Governance
In Defence of Neo-Classical Neo-Populism
This paper is a response to the discussion in the special issue of this Journal onRedistributive Land Reform Today(Vol. 4, Nos. 1 and 2). We begin by attempting to clarify the methodological debate, differentiating our approach, which our critics call neo-classical neo-populism, from mainstream neo-classical economics and historical materialism. We then distinguish between land tenure reforms and redistributive land reforms, and argue that it is …
Economic Globalization and Institutions of Global Governance
Economic globalization is reducing the significance of state boundaries. We have a global economy but lack the institutions necessary for a global polity. Unilateral action by a would-be hegemon is untenable in the long term and hence there is a need to discuss our institutions of global governance. The benefits and costs of globalization have been distributed asymmetrically, placing poor people in poor countries at a disadvantage, especially as …
Poverty and the Distribution of Land
Redistributive land reforms have begun to attract the attention of scholars and policy makers once again. In this paper, we review old arguments and bring them up-to-date in the light of recent research. We begin with the case in favour of redistributive reforms focusing on fragmented factor markets and systems of labour control, of which concentration of land ownership is but one aspect. We then examine land reform in practice, focusing on disti…
Globalization and Progressive Economic Policy
The authors of this book challenge mainstream thinking about the nature of globalization. While not hostile to markets per se, they believe that capitalist market processes, left to operate freely, tend to generate injustice, insecurity, instability, and inefficiency. Taking account of the new realities of globalization, this volume explores an unusually wide range of subjects, including trade integration, multinational corporations, labor market…
Freeing China's Farmers
A lively introduction to New York state and local politics by a political scientist and a former State Assembly member, who infuse their discussion of institutions and processes with the drama and significance of real power politics. Most New Yorkers have very little knowledge of how influence is wielded in Albany here is a chance to look behind those closed doors. The book covers constitutional issues historical, economic, social, and demographi…

Global Prospects for Development and Human Security
It is a great honour to be invited to present this keynote address in Calgary. Canada has an admirable record of constructive concern with broad issues of international development and this country has historically been a generous donor of foreign aid. Canada has also been much concerned with measures intended to improve the lot of the poor directly and has been among the few to provide a warm welcome to immigrants from developing countries and e…
The distribution of land in rural China
The article contains data on landholdings from a nationwide sample survey of 10,258 rural households in China in 1988. Analysis of the data reveals that the distribution of land in physical units is relatively equal by international standards and that the distribution of land value is exceptionally equal. Moreover, the distribution of landed wealth compensates for inequalities in the distribution of other rural assets and as a consequence the dis…
The Economy of Ethiopia
Employment Opportunities for Women
In a volume devoted to an overall consideration of income-generating opportunities in relation to development, it may seem strange to have a separate chapter on the problem of prostitution. It is a measure of its significance as one of the few ‘job’ opportunities available for many Ethiopian women that it has been given such prominence.

Foreign Aid after the Cold War
This paper argues that foreign aid programmes originated as part of the ideological confrontation known as the Cold War and that the motives behind aid were always more political than economic. It is further argued that the economic justifications for foreign aid - filling 'gaps' in capital, technology and skills-are suspect and that the economic benefits in terms of long-term development are at best negligible. Turning to the future, foreign aid…

Doubts about Aid
Scepticism is expressed in this article about the effectiveness of foreign capital in increasing the level of investment and accelerating growth. Instead it is suggested that capital inflows often depress the domestic savings rate and reduce the productivity of investment and thus can retard the rate of growth. Data from a dozen countries, biased toward the low?income economies, illustrate the argument. It is further suggested that there is littl…
Rural development in an arid region
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is the largest administrative unit in China. It covers a vast area of 1.6 million square kilometres, or 16.7 per cent of China's territory. The population, however, is small-less than 14 million people or 1.3 per cent of China's population. The region is remote and inhospitable and this accounts for the low population density. Physically, Xinjiang is divided into three sub-regions. In the south is the Tarim basin,…

Problems of agricultural development in socialist Ethiopia
The article begins with a review of the performance of the agricultural sector, stressing the sluggish growth, the concentration of output in a small number of regions, the fragmentation of the market and the instability of production and the associated risk of famine. After a brief assessment of the potential for increasing output, we focus on alternative systems of agricultural production that could be used to achieve growth with equity, namely…

THIS PAPER IS A SURVEY of Marxist and other radical interpretations of interactions among the three worlds of advanced capitalism, socialism, and the less developed countries (LDCs). It includes, first, analyses of the causes, aims, and methods of capitalist imperialism. The survey next examines the impact of world capitalism on LDCs, including theories of dependency and unequal exchange and the role of international agencies in the development p…

Customs Unions and Latin American Integration
The potential gains from a customs union may be divided into two categories, those which improve the allocation of resources and those which lead to an increase in the quantity of available resources. The former are static, once‐for‐all gains, while the latter are cumulative gains. The static benefits can be represented as derived from changed price relationships along a fixed production frontier and as a movement to the frontier. The dynamic ben…
