Why do some political leaders create and strengthen institutions
like title registries and land tribunals that secure property
rights to land while others neglect these institutions or destroy
those that already exist? How do these institutions evolve once
they have been established? This book answers these questions
through spatial and temporal comparison of national and subnational
cases from Botswana, Ghana, and Kenya and, to a lesser extent,
Zimbabwe. Onoma argues that the level of property rights security
that leaders prefer depends on how they use land. However, the
extent to which leaders' institutional preferences are translated
into actual institutions depends on the level of leaders' capacity.
Further, once established, these institutions through their very
working can contribute to their own decline over time. This book is
unique in revealing the political and economic reasons why some
leaders unlike others prefer an environment of insecure rights even
as land prices increase.
