Summary

Rural reform has been an important government policy in post-revolutionary Iran. Ali Shakoori examines these policies and their socio-economic impact on rural populations. After reviewing the main debates in rural development literature and providing the historical background of agrarian change in the pre-revolutionary era, he assesses the impact of government policy on agriculture performance and the impact of rural strategies on the village society and economy.

Author Biography

Ali Shakoori is Researcher at the Institute for Social Studies, University of Tehran.
