Incorporating case studies of technological change in six Latin American countries, this book presents the results of a large cooperative research project (PROTAAL) that has led to a new interpretation of the process of technical change in agricultural development. The contributors contrast the perspective emerging from PROTAAL with two other views of technical change in agriculture: the theory of induced innovation and the political economy approach. They then describe the methodology developed by PROTAAL, which is highlighted in their analysis of the case studies. In the concluding chapters, the authors address important issues concerning the organization of agricultural research activities at the national and international levels and consider theoretical and policy implications for the analysis of technical change in Latin American agriculture.
Martín Piñeiro, formerly coordinator of the Cooperative Research Project on Agricultural Technology in Latin America (PROTAAL) at the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), is a researcher at the Centro de Investigaciones Sociales sobre el Estado y la Administración in Argentina. Eduardo Trigo is co-coordinator of PROTAAL and coordinator of the Institutional Task Force on Technology Transfer and Adoption at IICA.
