The Politics of Land Reform in Africa : From Communal Tenure to Free Markets Paperback / softback
by Doctor Ambreena Manji
Paperback / softback
Description
Across Africa land is being commodified: private ownership is replacing communal and customary tenure; Farms are turned into collateral for rural credit markets. Law reform is at the heart of this revolution. The Politics of Land Reform in Africa casts a critical spotlight on this profound change in African land economy.
The book illuminates the key role of legislators, legal consultants and academics in tenure reform.
These players exert their influence by translating the economic and regulatory interests of the World Bank, civil society groups and commercial lenders in to questions of law.
Drawing on political economy and actor-network theory The Politics of Land Reform in Africa is an indispensable contribution to the study of agrarian change in developing countries.
