Rural development remains a major challenge for governments of developing countries such as Pakistan. This book discusses the political economy of agrarian poverty and underdevelopment in the region. It provides an in-depth exploration of the combined impact of state and donor interventions, as well as that of resistance attempts, to alter the status quo within Pakistan. It questions the relevance of state institutions and policies contending with the problems of farmers in Pakistan, and how donor-led policies and programmes also influence their lives.
