Rural Development in Asia-Pacific Region (Vol. I & Vol. II)

By Dr. Jayanta Choudhury

Rural Development in Asia-Pacific Region (Vol. I & Vol. II) brings together both volumes of this collection in a single edition. The work examines rural development across the Asia-Pacific region, where most of the world's rural population lives and where poverty, food insecurity and rural-urban disparities remain pressing concerns. It draws on contributions from a large group of academics, researchers and development professionals from universities and institutions in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nigeria and Russia, covering economics, commerce, education, political science, management and social work. Together the chapters explore livelihoods, agriculture, governance, inclusive growth and regional development issues, including those of Northeast India. The combined edition will be a useful reference for researchers, policy makers and students of rural development.
