'Kapstein's ambitious study represents a landmark contribution to the study of US post-war intervention in the developing world. Focusing on economic reform - and especially land reform - Kapstein shows through meticulous archival work and riveting case studies that the US sought to promote reform in an effort stabilize friendly governments and stem peasant uprisings. The book is a must-read for students of foreign policy, diplomacy, development, and land reform.' Michael Albertus, University of Chicago 'The study of peasant rebellion is back. Ethan B. Kapstein rewrites the history of the Cold War in this fascinating book on the causes and consequences of US foreign-assistance policy. With communism on the march, US policymakers promoted land reform as a way to shore up political stability. Seeds of Stability tells us why they did so and why they were only sometimes successful.' Scott Gehlbach, University of Wisconsin, Madison '... this book certainly makes a valuable contribution to understanding the mechanisms when such reformist strategies might be effective, the demand and appetite for such interventions on Washington's part in the coming future are likely to be very limited.' Ionut C. Popescu, International RelationsMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
