## Preface
Early in the 1960s, Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Enlai pronounced the African continent 'ripe for revolution.' At that time, most analysts predicted that China would be exporting its rural-based 'red revolution' to Africa. Instead, the most enduring legacy of Chinese involvement in rural Africa may well be the 'green revolution': the thousands of hectares of irrigated rice now cultivated by farmers in dozens of African countries.
This study had its origins in an effort to document and analyze China's foreign aid in rural Africa. Although it is taken for granted that foreign aid involves the introduction (or 'export') of sometimes revolutionary practices and ideas -the 'software' of change -there has been much less analysis of the ways in which domestic ideas about development held by particular donor countries translate into distinctive approaches to development assistance. Likewise, the tendency for the evaluation of foreign aid efforts to focus primarily on technical, cultural, and economic aspects of projects, leaving out the political context, limits an important source of influence on the outcome of foreign aid, and the degree to which new ideas about development take hold in developing countries.
It is my hope that this book will not only fill an important gap in the literature on China and Africa by providing the first detailed examination of Chinese aid, but also that it will contribute to the important debate on the role of foreign aid in African agricultural development. Although the first round of efforts to export the green revolution to Africa have largely been judged a failure, at least with regard to rice, this study suggests that with better institutional support and stronger states, the green revolution may yet be a viable path for those parts of rural Africa where irrigation appears to be technologically and, on paper, economically feasible.
This book has benefited from several grants that enabled me to interview rice farmers and African officials, talk with the Chinese about their aid program, and conduct research in the archives of Ministries of

The Farm War of the early 1980s caused subsequent disruptions in world markets, conflicts among major governments and disagreements in international organizations. The Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations, ostensibly devoted to the new issues of globalization, dragged on from 1986 to 1993 in an attempt to end farm-subsidy battles. Wolfe shows how and why battles over agricultural protectionism were largely resolved through the Round, demonstrating that the global economy is not self-regulating; it needs institutions if it is to be stable. The Green Box, a core provision of The Agreement on Agriculture, shows how states can decide that certain types of policies should be immune from international regulation by the new World Trade Organization, an elegant compromise between the imperatives of responding to global change and maintaining democratic accountability. Wolfe's analysis will be helpful for planners of the next set of farm trade talks, due to begin in 1999, while the annotated text of The Agreement on Agriculture will be especially useful in introducing students to the complexities of trade policy

Since 1957, more than 45 African countries have received aid from China, yet little is known about the impact of this assistance. In Exporting Green Revolution, Deborah Brautigam provides the first authoritative account of Chinese aid in rural Africa. The book answers three primary questions: How does Chinese aid differ from that of other donors? What impact has China's aid had on African development? What factors account for the widely divergent outcomes of China's aid? In a methodological tour de force, Brautigam draws on anthropology, economics, organization theory and political science to explain how changing ideas about development in China shaped the design of its aid, and how domestic politics in African countries influenced its outcome. Based on unpublished documents and extensive interviews in Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia, Brautigam fills an important gap in our knowledge of China and Africa, and makes a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the relationship between foreign aid and African development

Internationally the trade union movement is finding itself peripheralized by a series of mutually reinforcing processes - the ongoing world economic crisis; the uneven transition from an industrial to an information and service capitalism; the aggressive policies of neoliberalism; the collapse of communism and radical nationalism; the decline of the social-democratic or labour tradition - and by a globalization that undermines the nation-state to which union hopes have long been pinned.
The editors argue that this crisis provides an opportunity for labour to recover or reinvent itself. They see this in terms of a labour response to the waves of energy coming from the new global social movements (women, ecology, human rights/democracy, and so on).

Sri Lanka is hailed internationally for its high standards of education despite rather modest levels of economic growth. Much of this achievement has been underpinned by economic revenues generated by the labours of the plantation community whose own achievements in education fell well below the national norm. In recent years, however, educational participation among this community has increased. Why, and how?
A day in the life of Vickneswari provides the starting-point for an analysis of educational progress among the Tamil plantation community.

Since 1957, more than 45 African countries have received aid from China, yet until recently little has been known about the effectiveness or impact of this assistance. Bräutigam provides the first authoritative account of China's experience as an aid donor in rural Africa. In a detailed and highly readable analysis, the author draws on anthropology, economics, organization theory and political science to explain how China's domestic agenda shaped the design of its aid, and how domestic politics in African countries influenced its outcome.

The authors examine various aspects of Japanese financial markets. This analysis is interspersed with the relevant institutional/historical background on Japanese financial markets necessary for the non-specialist. Principal chapters include: an institutional overview; a chapter on the comparative costs of capital (both internationally and among Japanese firms); causes and implications of the high degree of financial intermediation in Japan; and an invaluable analysis of the most recent trends in the Japanese/Asian financial markets

This book examines the effect of post-Soviet transitions on current problem solving trends with regards to world capitalism. The fall of Soviet communism left liberal capitalism as the dominant blueprint from which to construct economic development policies. Using Central Europe as an example it is shown that the application of the Western liberal-capitalist model has not been without its difficulties. This book endeavours to place the changes to the global political economy, since 1989, in a theoretical and historical context
