Summary
  • "Increasingly, civil society organizations have expressed misgivings about relying upon the market mechanism to solve current problems of inequalities, deprivation and conflicts in the developing world. This collection examines the reactions of civil society groups to the market question in rural development within neoliberal reforms."
  • "Drawing upon case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America, the book critically examines the position and function of civil society organizations with respect to market-led land reforms, labour markets, uncertainty caused by market mechanisms and the raising of social awareness and mobilization around market issues. It demonstrates the heterogeneous character of civil society as 'market advocate', 'market sceptic' and 'market opponent'."
  • "In conclusion, the contributors argue that although forceful social mobilization within civil society is crucial to give a voice to rural producers and workers, many challenges to the market take place outside the market context, and involve high levels of organization among the local populations and wider coalitions."--Jacket.
