`This book is already on the reading list for my postgraduate students, and copies can be found in some NGO libraries in Latin America - recommended source for development practitioners working generally around NGO organisational development issues as well as in sustainable agricultural and rural development.' - Inst of Latin American Studies, Univ London `A wonderful piece of research and an outstanding contribution to a very important theme ... [The authors] have placed themselves squarely at the centre of the debate on how to define a new post-debt strategy for Latin America that integrates growth, equity, sustainability and democracy. They offer both a first class analysis ... and a set of highly concrete recommendations ... that will be invaluable to teachers, practitioners and donors in rural development and agricultural technology.' - Alain de Janvry, University of California at Berkeley `This book is welcomed, and not only by those who have a special interest in all things Latin American, for it looks at how NGOs and state institutions are today closely working together to improve peasant culture.' - Oxfam `The analysis and recommendations put forward in the book should be well received, and will certainly succeed in taking this important debate further forward.' - British Bulletin of Publications
