During the past two decades, there has been a resurgence of
interest in issues of land reform in developing and transitional
countries. This has been initiated by the large-scale
re-distributive activities in former communist countries and by the
growing number of claims by displaced indigenous population groups
to restore their rights to land. This book provides a timely and
clear overview of the historical and theoretical context of current
land reform and tenure issues. Illustrated with global case studies
from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, key sections explore
land and rights to land, property, land tenure and reform, and land
registration. Beginning by discussing the need to demarcate space
by creating 'invisible lines' - which give certainty to what extent
authority over land can be established - the book then explores
legal and theoretical definitions of 'land' and 'property' and
looks at the various different policies and forms of land tenure.
One of the most recent developments in land reform policy has been
to look to traditional forms of access to land and of resource
conservation. The book argues that, while such policies on land
property rights have great potential, they are best being adopted
in a long-term, incremental way. It also shows how land policy
reforms must be embedded in institutional and general policy
reforms, complemented by rural development and educational
opportunities for beneficiaries. The book summarises the main
principles of land reform activities and practices and argues that
the perception of land tenure security is the most critical factor
of success to land reform.
