Abstract

Finanzierung und Unterhalt von Kulten, Verwaltung von Heiligtümern und Ausdrucksformen von Religiosität sind wichtige Aspekte zum Verständnis der Organisation menschlicher Gemeinschaften in der Antike. Die Autorin untersucht unter anderem den Umfang an Landbesitz von Heiligtümern, die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung des Landes, Einnahmemöglichkeiten aus Verpachtung, Vorschriften zum Schutz von 'heiligem Land' sowie möglichen Wandel von Religiosität im Umgang mit Besitz der Götter (7. - 4. Jh. v. Chr.). The financing and maintenance of cults, the administration of sacred places, and ways of expressing religiosity are important aspects for understanding the organisation of human communities in ancient times. Among other things, the study examines the amount of land held by sacred places, the agricultural use made of the land, possible sources of income from leasing out the land, regulations for protecting the 'sacred land', together with a possible change in religiosity when dealing with the property of the gods (7th - 4th cents. BC).

Abstract

Is Latin America moving toward a new generation of pro-poor land reforms? What are the real openings and constraints with regard to such policies at the local, national, and international levels? What role is research playing, and what role might it play, in tracking efforts and revealing policy options? This book suggests that Latin America may not be poised for a radical shift in land policy and administration, and that it is home to some worrisome trends and a rich array of initiatives on land issues. Researchers have a crucial role to play in illuminating policy alternatives and monitoring outcomes.

Abstract

Over several centuries, the Serer of the Siin region of Senegal developed a complex system of land tenure that resulted in a stable rural society, productive agriculture, and a well-managed ecosystem. Dennis Galvan tells the story of what happened when French colonial rulers, and later the government of the newly independent Senegal, imposed new systems of land tenure and cultivation on the Serer of Siin. Galvan's book is a painstaking and skillful autopsy of ruinous Western-style "rational" economic development policy forced upon a fragile, yet self-sustaining, society. It is also a disquieting demonstration of the general folly of such an approach and an attempt to articulate a better, more sensitive, and ultimately more productive model for change-a model Galvan calls "institutional syncretism."
