Rwanda's Land Tenure Reform: Non-existent to Best Practice provides a detailed account of how Rwanda managed to systematically demarcate and register all land, comprising over 10 million parcels within five years. This book: - Provides a detailed account of how Rwanda built a land administration system which is now internationally viewed as a model of success for implementing a complex land reform programme in the developing world. - Considers the ways in which land tenure reform has contributed to the country's development beyond the land sector. - Discusses how Rwanda's example can be followed by other countries wishing to embark on similar programmes of designing and implementing a nationwide land tenure regularisation programme. - Provides key strategic orientation to achieve a sustainable land administration programme. Offering a comprehensive narrative of the land tenure reform programme from inception to implementation, this book will be important reading for policy makers, land administration professionals, academics and development partners working in land administration and land tenure programmes in developing countries. Thierry Hoza Ngoga is a land development professional with special focus on land administration, land tenure and land use planning. He worked on Rwanda's land tenure regularisation reform programme for over 12 years in various capacities, most recently as Head of Land Technical Operations overseeing land use planning, land surveying and the land administration information system. He is currently working on land development issues focusing on building institutional and policy development in several African countries.

"Although violent conflict has declined in northern Uganda, tensions and mistrust concerning land have increased. Residents try to deal with acquisitions by investors and exclusions from forests and wildlife reserves. Land wrangles among neighbours and relatives are widespread. The growing commodification of land challenges ideals of entrustment for future generations. Using extended case studies, collaborating researchers analyze the principles and practices that shape access to land. Contributors examine the multiplicity of land claims, the nature of transactions and the management of conflicts. They show how access to land is governed through intimate relations of gender, generation and belonging".

Cellule essentielle d’encadrement des hommes, la seigneurie est à la fin du Moyen Âge un organisme complexe et divers. Cet ouvrage vise à mieux en comprendre les ressorts en partant d’un cadre chronologique et géographique cohérent et suffisamment étendu, la Bretagne méridionale du xive au début du xvie siècle, pour mener les analyses et dégager quelques conclusions d’ensemble. Le croisement des sources et des approches dessine ainsi une chronologie différente, décalée, par rapport aux autres régions françaises. La crise la plus forte à laquelle les seigneuries rurales bretonnes sont confrontées ne se situe pas au xive siècle, même si les dégâts de la guerre de Succession de Bretagne (1341-1364) ne doivent aucunement être minorés, mais bien à la fin du xve siècle, au moment où les provinces voisines ont déjà entrepris leur processus de reconstruction agraire. Cet écart chronologique a de lourds impacts sur l’organisation des structures rurales bretonnes. Le convenant s’affirme de plus en plus nettement en Vannetais, entraînant un repli mesuré des censives, tandis que les censives en comté de Nantes continuent de dominer largement les terroirs, même si les complants et les métairies se développent dans les zones de marches. La géographie agraire est dès lors de plus en plus contrastée selon les terroirs. Cet ouvrage est enrichi d’une trentaine de cartes, réalisées à partir des dépouillements archivistiques, qui permet de mieux visualiser le poids, le rôle ou encore les traits singuliers des structures seigneuriales dans l’organisation des campagnes de Bretagne méridionale à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Peasant Wars in Bolivia reveals the active political role played by the Cochabamba valley peasants during the 1952-64 revolutionary period in Bolivia from a non-state perspective. Based on contemporary research in social, political, and cultural issues in Latin America it blends sociological and anthropological methods to go beyond recognized contexts of central power and emphasize the revolutionary experience of the peasants themselves. Drawing on archival research, newspapers, interviews, and a wealth of secondary sources, the book argues that the Cochabamba valley mestizo population of rural workers forged their own collective “campesino” identity alongside their revolutionary struggles against regional elites and the state. This newly created identity allowed the campesinos entry into the Bolivian national political arena as dynamic actors, transformed their subjectivities, and changed the existing political culture of Bolivia. It goes on to analyze the historical status of the revolution and the role of the mestizo peasantry within it in the context of academic and political debates of the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Crossing established borders between history, anthropology, and sociology, Peasant Wars in Bolivia is a fascinating, interdisciplinary exploration of the revolutionary campesinos of the Cochabamba valley, of Bolivia’s nationalist revolution, and of the ways it has been interpreted and understood within Bolivian politics and culture.
