Produktinformationen zu „The Modern Plantation in the Third World (PDF)“

Originally published in 1984, this was the first study to define and rationalise the character and functions of the plantation in the contemporary world. The author, Edgar Graham, was uniquely placed to do this having had long experience of Unilever's plantations in West Africa, Zaire, Malaysia and the Pacific. Writing as a pragmatist, from observed fact, his starting point was the fact that the 'modern plantation' bears very little resemblance to that of the past, on which most hostile accounts are still based. Two changes altered the very nature of the issue: First, the 20^th Century plantation existed within an economic framework controlled by independent governments. Secondly, the rapid development in technology has revolutionised most aspects of plantation production. The result, it is argued, is that the modern plantation offers host governments the option of using this as the most efficient way of utilising available factors of production to provide a maximum social return. Exemplified by case studies, this study presents a powerful argument for the continue use of the plantation system when properly applied to a variety of tropical crops.

Edgar Graham joined the United Africa Company in 1947 and it was his experience in West Africa in the following decade which gave him both the insight and interest in development issues. In 1974 he became Director of the Joint Boards of Unilever and was a visiting Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford between 1964 and 1972.
