Abstract
IT HAS CONCENTRATED PARTICULARLY ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES AND THE ROLE OF INSTITUTIONS IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT. ITS MAJOR ROLE TO DATE HAS BEEN A SIXTEEN-COUNTRY COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF LOCAL INSTITUTIONS, PARTICULARLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND ASSOCIATIONS, IN ASIAN RURAL DEVELOPMENT. THE MAJOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT WAS THE CONCLUSION THAT CONCERN WAS NOT AS MUCH WITH WHAT COMMONLY HAS BEEN CALLED "INTEGRATED" RURAL DEVELOPMENT AS WITH SOMETHING THAT BETTER MIGHT BE CALLED "EXTENDED" RURAL DEVELOPMENT. THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL ORGANIZATION AND PARTICIPATION IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT MUST BE UNDERSCORED.
