<p>Sims presents timely research and analysis of the link between economic growth and institutional change; then, uses this link as a framework for understanding and explaining the Indian Punjab's more rapid progress than that of the Pakistani Punjab.<br> This insightful volume explores the hypothesis that variations in the agrarian structures of the two Punjabs have lead to differences in the rate and extent of technological change in rural areas. Through extensive and intensive interviews with farmers, officials, and political figures, the role of local institutions in development is explored; contrasting policies and institutions concerned with fertilizer use are examined; and channels through which rural citizens express their aspirations and the role of farm lobbies are discussed.<br> This volume will prove extremely useful for developmental studies, economics, policy studies, and sociology researchers and students.<br> "The publication provides thought-provoking material . . .is thus a valuable addition to research bodies and libraries. "<br> —The Economic Times<br> "The book has come out at a time when there is a lack of serious analysis on the roots of the crisis in India
