Extract

Political scientists have long neglected the phenomena of rural development; this in spite of its overwhelming importance (See Figure 1) to lesser developed nations. In much of Africa, Asia and Latin America large proportions of the population live in villages and more scattered settlements. For Africa and Asia, 70–90 per cent of the population live and work in these areas. Their occupations are primarily agricultural.
