Henry Bernstein (sociologist)

Henry Bernstein (born 9 February 1945) is a British sociologist and emeritus Professor of Development Studies at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.

Bernstein's research includes the political economy of agrarian change; social theory and globalisation and labour. He is known for applying class analysis and Marxist approaches to agrarian societies, including his theories of 'reproduction squeeze'.

From 1985 to 2000 he was co-editor with Terry Byres of the Journal of Peasant Studies, and then became a founding editor, again with Byres, of the Journal of Agrarian Change from 2001 to 2008.
