Reactions to the Market: Small Farmers in Nicaragua, Cuba, Russia and China
UC Berkeley Professor Laura Enríquez will compare socialism and agricultural policy in Nicaragua, Cuba, Russia, and China.
When:
October 25, 2010 12:00pm to 1:15pm
The year 1990 marked a turning point for both Nicaragua and Cuba, after which each pursued a distinct pathway toward the market. Russia also initiated its opening to the market at that time, while China began the process earlier. This talk is organized around a double comparison: of Nicaragua’s rapid retreat from socialism with Cuba’s reconfiguration of socialism; and Russia’s rapid retreat from socialism with China’s reconfiguration of socialism. These dynamics are examined through the lens of agricultural policy and its consequences.
