Synopsis

Across the globe millions of people live and work on land that they do not—and legally cannot—own. And though some efforts to secure land rights for these individuals have been successful, many others—such as those that emphasize titles and registration—have been disappointing. Legalising Land Rights critiques the various programs designed to counter land tenure regimes in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, broadening the scope of knowledge on land tenure reform in these regions and calling for the implementation of new and more effective legislation.
