Major land reform programs have reallocated property in more than
one-third of the world's countries in the last century and impacted
over one billion people. But only rarely have these programs
granted beneficiaries complete property rights. Why is this the
case, and what are the consequences? This book draws on
wide-ranging original data and charts new conceptual terrain to
reveal the political origins of the property rights gap. It shows
that land reform programs are most often implemented by
authoritarian governments who deliberately withhold property rights
from beneficiaries. In so doing, governments generate coercive
leverage over rural populations and exert social control. This is
politically advantageous to ruling governments but it has negative
development consequences: it slows economic growth, productivity,
and urbanization and it exacerbates inequality. The book also
examines the conditions under which subsequent governments close
property rights gaps, usually as a result of democratization or
foreign pressure.
