A title deed = tenure security. Or does it? This book challenges this simple equation and its apparently self-evident assumptions. It argues that two very different property paradigms characterise South Africa.
The first is the dominant paradigm of private property, referred to as an ‘edifice’, against which all other property regimes are measured and ranked. However, the majority of South Africans gain access to land and housing through very different processes, which this book calls social or off-register tenures. These tenures are poorly understood, a gap Untitled aims to address. The book reveals that ‘informal’ and customary property systems can be well organised, often providing substantial tenure security, but lack official recognition and support. This makes them difficult to service and vulnerable to elite capture.
Policy interventions usually aim to formalise these arrangements by issuing title deeds. The case studies in this book, which span both rural and urban contexts in South Africa, examine these interventions and the unintended consequences they often give rise to. Interventions based on an understanding of locally embedded property relations are more likely to succeed than those that attempt to transform them into registered tenures. However, emerging practices hit intractable obstacles associated with the ‘edifice’, which only a substantial transformation of the legal paradigms can overcome.

This book examines pressures for convergence and divergence in
contemporary societies focusing on the rapidly changing
relationship betwen work and welfare. The countries selected for
in-depth comparative analysis are Germany, Spain, Sweden and the
UK, each representative of different labour market and welfare
regimes. Beginning with an overview of those departmenst in the
post-second world war period which shed light on the different
social and institutional structures, economic directions and policy
orientations of the countries concerned, the book goes on to
explore changing patterns of work and employment in particular in
relation to labour market reforms, new forms of production and
women's participation in paid work. In its last section, it looks
at current issues of social policy in Europe, including gender and
poverty. Integrating material from sociological perspectives on
work and employment with comparative welfare analysis, feminist
critiques and recent debates on social exclusion, the book will be
of particular relevance and usefulness to students of European
Studies, Sociology and Social Policy.
