Book Review of Agricultural development in Asia and Africa: essays in honor of Keijiro Otsuka

Jude Esguerra

Abstract


This compendium, spanning 27 chapters, traverses the diverse landscapes of Asia and Africa and journeys back to the inception of the Green Revolution in the 1960s. It delves into comparative research across specific contexts and forwards some of the most insightful and less obvious knowledge produced in development economics.

The editors and authors, all of whom have collaborated with Keijiro Otsuka, have collectively authored over four hundred papers. Professor Otsuka’s collaborative research approach stands as a testament to his leadership and has enabled contributions to a broad spectrum of knowledge areas—not only concerning the Green Revolution and agriculture, but also state capacities, entrepreneurship, small- and medium-scale industries, and foreign investments.
