Download or read book African Land Reform Under Economic Liberalisation written by Shinichi Takeuchi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers unique in-depth, comprehensive, and comparative analyses of the motivations, context, and outcomes of recent land reforms in Africa. Whereas a considerable number of land reforms have been carried out by African governments since the 1990s, no systematic analysis on their meaning has so far been conducted. In the age of land reform, Africa has seen drastic rural changes. Analysing the relationship between those reforms and change, the chapters in this book reveal not only their socio-economic outcomes, such as accelerated marketisation of land, but also their political outcomes, which have often been contrasting. Countries such as Rwanda and Mozambique have utilised land reform to strengthen state control over land, but other countries, such as Ghana and Zambia, have seen the rise in power of traditional chiefs in managing the land. The comparative perspective of this book clarifies new features of African social changes, which are carefully investigated by area experts. Providing new perspectives on recent land reform, this book will have a considerable impact on scholars as well as policymakers.

Download or read book The Politics of Land Reform in Africa written by Ambreena S. Manji and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the trend in Africa today to replace communal forms of customary tenure with Western-type private land tenure arrangements. These are markets in land that treat it as a commodity like any other, and forms of rural credit involving land as collateral. The author develops an aetiology of the main actors in this historic process which is already having huge human consequences. It is likely, if more widely implemented, to transform the face of African rural society towards landlessness, forced migration to big city slums, and rising inequality.
Download or read book Land and Water Reform written by Vilasrao Salunkhe and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers an alternative policy perspective for development of India. It spells out specific measures for equitable distribution of land and water resources in rural India. The book came into existence against the background of a transforming India almost at the far end of the last century. Since early 1980s Indian elite had started admitting the failures of the socialistic model of development. They were gradually but definitely capitulating to the market driven economic model. In early years of the decade of 1990, Indian government took measured steps towards liberalizing economy such as reducing regulations on industry, offer incentives for foreign investment etc. The authors have reviewed the agricultural scenario in its structural form of ownership and access to land and water, the most critical resources of agricultural production. When viewed superficially, the book presents a contrast to the increasingly popular noise of market driven economics. The book simply speaks about the right of multitudes of hardworking agriculture dependent masses to dignified livelihood. It does not advocate doles and politics of poverty. On the contrary, the book seeks creation of self-organized, professional communities of farmers, which can participate in market economy. It looks at the effective management of distribution of water as a precondition for larger social development of India. The authors have pointed out that access of majority people to land will not suffice to achieve the goal of stable development, and equal access of all in rural area to water for agriculture along with equal access to land is equally essential for a complete economic and social change. Many observations and insights from this quarter century old document are still relevant. A modest number of them but a routinely vocal class of farmers are still conducting intense protests around the country's capital. The pitch of sentiments is overshadowing an objective and practical approach to the problem of an inclusive approach to organization of agriculture sector of India. The politics of subsidies and doles continues in an environment of unequal distribution of productive resources and a consequent sense of insecurity among a large section of society. The book proposes the case with more than adequate data on status of irrigation and agricultural yield in the country. The problem is also thoroughly dissected with the help of the case study of Maharashtra, one of the most industrialized and prosperous state of India.
Download or read book Pro Poor Land Reform written by Saturnino Borras and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using empirical case materials from the Philippines and referring to rich experiences from different countries historically, this book offers conceptual and practical conclusions that have far-reaching implications for land reform throughout the world. Examining land reform theory and practice, this book argues that conventional practices have excluded a significant portion of land-based production and distribution relationships, while they have inadvertently included land transfers that do not constitute real redistributive reform. By direct implication, this book is a critique of both mainstream market led agrarian reform and conventional state-led land reform. It offers an alternative perspective on how to move forward in theory and practice and opens new paths in land policy research.

Book excerpt: The transformation of rural societies, which form the majority of the population in the third world in the era of globalization is one of the most significant processes of social change in the contemporary world. The introduction of policies of stabilization and structural adjustment in the 1980s and 90s have had wide-ranging and profound implications for the third world countryside for agrarian relations and the development of capitalism, for programmes of local government and, ultimately, for the conditions of life and work of millions of people in less-developed countries.The Development and Planning Department of the West Bengal government organized a three-day international conference in Kolkata, in January 2002, in order to provide a forum for debate and discussion on new theoretical and empirical research in the field of agrarian relations in less-developed countries, and to advance our understanding of what is happening in rural societies as a result of the most recent phase of global capitalism. The papers brought together in this volume were first presented at this conference.The papers cover a wide range of theoretical issues and empirical experiences. Some address the question of the effectiveness and reliability of different types of land reform; others focus on the macroeconomic context of liberalized trade and mobile financial flows. Of the country case studies, some (on Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Cuba, China and Bangladesh) are concerned with changes in agrarian relations in the context of globalization; others (on South Africa, the Philippines and sub-Saharan Africa) identify the nature of and constraints on land reforms in the contemporary period. The discussion on the Indian experience ranges from macroeconomic trends and statewise patterns to a study of a particular village over two decades. While the specific concerns and historical processes of each country and region are indeed different, the papers also reflect common concerns and worries, especially with regard to the impact on the rural working people of new policies of globalization and liberalization.V.K. Ramachandran and Madhura Swaminathan are economists and Professors at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.. . . the articles . . . represent a diversity of perspectives, and the contributions by, for example, Chinese, Mexican and Chilean experts, deal pragmatically with problems of agrarian reform experiences in their countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the end of World War II in 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spent the next three decades carrying out agrarian reform among nearly one-third of the world’s peasants. This book presents a new perspective on the first step of this reform, when the CCP helped redistribute over 40 million hectares of land to over three hundred million impoverished peasants in the nationwide land reform movement. This land reform, the founding myth of the People’s Republic of China (1949–present) and one of the largest redistributions of wealth and power in history, embodies the idea that an equal distribution of property will lead to social and political equality. Power Over Property argues that in practice, however, the opposite occurred: the redistribution of political power led to a more equal distribution of property. China’s land reform was accomplished not only through the state’s power to define the distribution of resources, but also through village communities prioritizing political entitlements above property rights. Through the systematic analysis of never-before studied micro-level data on practices of land reform in over five hundred villages, Power Over Property demonstrates how land reform primarily involved the removal of former power holders, the mobilization of mass political participation, and the creation of a new social-political hierarchy. Only after accomplishing all of this was it possible to redistribute land. This redistribution, moreover, was determined by political relations to a new structure of power, not just economic relations to the means of production. The experience of China’s land reform complicates our understanding of the relations between economic, social, and political equality. On the one hand, social equality in China was achieved through political, not economic means. On the other hand, the fundamental solution was a more effective hierarchy of fair entitlements, not equal rights. This book ultimately suggests that focusing on economic equality alone may obscure more important social and political dynamics in the development of the modern world.
