Public Intervention in Farmer-Managed Irrigation Systems
Public Intervention in Farmer-managed Irrigation Systems
Paths to the Emerging State in Asia and Africa
Author: Keijiro Otsuka
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811331316
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book addresses the issue of how a country, which was incorporated into the world economy as a periphery, could make a transition to the emerging state, capable of undertaking the task of economic development and industrialization. It offers historical and contemporary case studies of transition, as well as the international background under which such a transition was successfully made (or delayed), by combining the approaches of economic history and development economics. Its aim is to identify relevant historical contexts, that is, the ‘initial conditions’ and internal and external forces which governed the transition. It also aims to understand what current low-income developing countries require for their transition. Three economic driving forces for the transition are identified. They are: (1) labor-intensive industrialization, which offers ample employment opportunities for labor force; (2) international trade, which facilitates efficient international division of labor; and (3) agricultural development, which improves food security by increasing supply of staple foods. The book presents a bold account of each driver for the transition.

Improving Irrigation in Asia

Pages : 140
Book Description
'Governance of irrigation systems is complex, needing social, technical and financial actions that support farming. Few people have as much knowledge of self-governing irrigation systems as these authors, and few countries have as many of these systems as Nepal. Lessons from these small irrigation systems can be adapted to much larger units, and to other kinds of activity. External assistance on a modest scale could generate practical benefit, by encouraging self-reliance in communities.' - Charles Abernethy, International Irrigation Management Institute, Colombo (1987-94) and Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand (1996-99)
