Download or read book Bringing the Law Back In written by Patrick McAuslan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. Bringing together the two fields of land reform and law, this volume examines the role the law and lawyers can, should, and do play in developing countries in the evolution of land policies, in land tenure reform, and in the reform of land use and urban planning. Providing both a theoretical and practical perspective it discusses the role of law in both urban land reform, concentrating on reforms in land use and town and country planning law and general national land reform, looking at specific case studies and at more general themes. It provides a coherent set of ideas and philosophies about land reform through the medium of law, which have been developed through reflection and action over a considerable period of time.
Download or read book Land Law and Urban Policy in Context written by Thanos Zartaloudis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays honouring and engaging with the work of the late Professor Patrick McAuslan. It is a collection that narrates, analyses and critiques McAuslan’s contributions, as well as offering substantive perspectives on how his work has impacted the legal fields in which he was involved: including those of land law, urban planning law and policy, land use and participation in developing countries, democratic constitutionalism, and legal education. The essays present McAuslan’s contributions in the contexts in which they emerged, and according to both the circumstances and motivations that shaped them, as well as the challenges they encountered. It thus provides an ideal point of engagement for scholars, students and policy makers that have already interacted with McAuslan’s ideas and work, or who have yet to do so.

Download or read book African Legal Theory and Contemporary Problems written by Oche Onazi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a collection of essays, which aim to situate African legal theory in the context of the myriad of contemporary global challenges; from the prevalence of war to the misery of poverty and disease to the crises of the environment. Apart from being problems that have an indelible African mark on them, a common theme that runs throughout the essays in this book is that African legal theory has been excluded, under-explored or under-theorised in the search for solutions to such contemporary problems. The essays make a modest attempt to reverse this trend. The contributors investigate and introduce readers to the key issues, questions, concepts, impulses and problems that underpin the idea of African legal theory. They outline the potential offered by African legal theory and open up its key concepts and impulses for critical scrutiny. This is done in order to develop a better understanding of the extent to which African legal theory can contribute to discourses seeking to address some of the challenges that confront African and non-African societies alike.
Download or read book Socially Embedded Property Rights in Africa written by William Andrew Kidd Gochberg and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three essays explore the politics of property rights to land in Africa. The first essay asks why some farmers title their land while others do not. I argue that, beyond the costs typically associated with this process, there are social costs to titling as well. These social costs originate from the system of customary law that governs multiple domains of social life, including land. The second essay investigates whether customary land tenure incentivizes ethnic group-based conflict, and if so, how. I propose a mechanism linking land rights and conflict, but also suggest why this relationship should occur rarely in practice. The third essay examines how customary land tenure rules can produce counterintuitive land use decisions, a question of special importance in the context of an oil boom. I also document how the structure and enforcement of land rights can vary within a single customary community. All three essays employ original data collected in Uganda in 2018. These data include a survey of landholders, and several interviews with local officials, clan heads, government bureaucrats, and landholders themselves. I also rely on secondary literature, as well as public opinion data from across the continent. Together, these essays contribute to our understanding of why customary institutions persist in Africa, why ethnic violence over land remains relatively rare, and why some communities thrive in the context of economic change while others struggle.

Download or read book Land Law Reform in Eastern Africa Traditional or Transformative written by Patrick McAuslan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land Law Reform in East Africa reviews development and changes in the statutory land laws of 7 countries in Eastern Africa over the period 1961 – 2011. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 sets up the conceptual framework for consideration of the reforms, and pursues a contrast between transformational and traditional developments; where the former aim at change designed to ensure social justice in land laws, and the latter aim to continue the overall thrust of colonial approaches to land laws and land administration. Part 2 provides an in-depth and critical survey of the land law reforms introduced into each country during the era of land law reform which commenced around 1990. The overall effect of the reforms has, Patrick McAuslan argues, been traditional: it was colonial policy to move towards land markets, individualisation of land tenure and the demise of customary tenure, all of which characterise the post 1990 reforms. The culmination of over 50 years of working in this area, Land Law Reform in East Africa will be invaluable reading for scholars of land law, and of law and development more generally.
