Many developing nations are engaged in efforts to transform the traditional agricultural sectors of their economies into modern forms that are more closely linked to the national economy and the export market. Almost universally, the traditional rights to land of the indigenous populations are ignored.

The essays are: "Integration of the Periphery to the Center: Processes and Consequences" (G.N.
