摘要
between 1983, when the first devaluation of the bol赤var took place after a long period of economic growth, and 1998, when the governability pact that provided a relative sociopolitical stability to the economic development strategy collapsed, a long process of macroeconomic adjustments and market reforms started in venezuela. this article attempts to answer the following questions: ˋwhat were the responses given by the small potato producers of the venezuelan high andean valleys to the changes in the structure of incentives engendered by the reforms? ˋwhat impacts had the reforms in their economic results? ˋto what extent local institutional arrangements, such as sharecropping in production, and middlemen cartels in potato marketing, impinged upon these results? ˋwhat were the roles played by the small farmers∩ organizations in their strategies to minimize costs and maximize benefits?
