Although today's richest countries tend to have long histories of
secure private property rights, legal-titling projects do little to
improve the economic and political well-being of those in the
developing world. This book employs a historical narrative based on
secondary literature, fieldwork across thirty villages, and a
nationally representative survey to explore how private property
institutions develop, how they are maintained, and their
relationship to the state and state-building within the context of
Afghanistan. In this predominantly rural society, citizens cannot
rely on the state to enforce their claims to ownership. Instead,
they rely on community-based land registration, which has a long
and stable history and is often more effective at protecting
private property rights than state registration. In addition to
contributing significantly to the literature on Afghanistan, this
book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on property
rights and state governance from the new institutional economics
perspective.
