Summary:From 1948 to 1979, agricultural development in Taiwan was guided and assisted by a unique binational organization, Sino-American Joint commission on Rural Reconstruction, usually known as the JCRR. This book is the first comprehensive description of JCRR's experience over the entire period of its existence. Joseph A. Yager addresses such major topics as the success of Taiwan's land reform and the central role of farmers' associations in introducing technology, credit, and other essential innovations. He identifies the reasons for the JCRR's success, and concludes that its methods could be used effectively in other developing countries
