Agricultural Land Redistribution: Toward Greater Consensus - Paperback

by Hans P. Binswanger-Mkhize (Editor), Camille Bourguignon (Editor), Rogier J. E. Van Den Brink (Editor)

Despite 250 years of land reform all over the world, important land inequalities remain, especially in Latin America and Southern Africa. While there is near consensus on the need for redistribution in these countries, much controversy persists around how to redistribute land peacefully and legally, often blocking progress on implementation. This book focuses on the 'how' of land redistribution in order to forge greater consensus among land reform practitioners and enable them to make better choices on the mechanisms of land reform. Reviews and case studies describe and analyze the alternative implementation options.
