Beyond the City evaluates the
contribution of rural development and policies to growth,
poverty alleviation, and environmental degradation in the
rest of the economy, as well as in the rural space. This
title brings together new theoretical and empirical
treatments of the links between rural and national
development. New findings and are combined with existing
literature to enhance our understanding of the how rural
economic activities contribute to various aspects of
national development. The study is based on original
research funded by the World Bank's Office of the Chief
Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean. Of particular
relevance is the interaction between agricultural and
territorial development issues. The empirical findings also
make substantial contributions to the debate over the
appropriate design of public policies aiming to enhance the
rural contribution to national development, including
economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental
sustainability, and macroeconomic stability.
