description This essay analyses some of the principal research themes of rural studies on Latin America during the last two to three decades. The transformations in the rural economy and society engendered by the process of neoliberal globalization and the sociopolitical protests of peasants, indigenous peoples and women against discrimination and neoliberal policies infuse rural studies. The analytical perspective of the “new rurality” is seen by many researchers as the best approach for capturing these changes and designing pro-peasant public policies. Other themes examined here are peasant differentiation, the gap between peasant and capitalist farming, the feminization and flexibilization of rural labour, urban-rural relations, peasant and indigenous movements, agrarian reform and rural poverty.

En este ensayo se analizan algunos de los principales temas de investigación en los estudios rurales sobre América Latina durante las últimas dos a tres décadas. Las transformaciones en la economía y sociedad rural provocadas por el proceso de la globalización neoliberal y las protestas socio-políticas de campesinos, indígenas y mujeres contra la discriminación y las políticas neoliberales impregnan los estudios rurales. La perspectiva de análisis de la “nueva ruralidad” es vista por muchos investigadores como la mejor forma de captar los cambios y para diseñar políticas públicas pro-campesinas. También se examina la diferenciación campesina, la brecha entre la economía campesina y la empresarial, la feminización y precarización del trabajo rural, las relaciones rural-urbanas, el movimiento campesino e indígena, la reforma agraria y la pobreza rural.
