Riassunto

Most of the world's estimated 1.4 billion poorest people are still rural. Yet the majority lack ownership (or any secure rights) to the land that is their principal source of livelihood. Although land law and related reforms have transformed the lives of millions of families by providing secure land rights, not all such efforts have succeeded. Over the years, the conventional wisdom concerning law and land tenure reform-what is needed, what is possible, and how such reform contributes to pro-poor development-has changed, sometimes in striking ways. Lawyers at the Rural Development Institute and the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle have spent more than four decades advising on, helping formulate and assessing the results of land tenure reform efforts around the world. The present volume distills key lessons from that work and parallel work by others.

Overzicht van wereldwijde armoedebestrijding, en eigendomsrecht als oplossing, met een voorwoord van Nobelprijswinnaar Joseph E. Stiglitz

De meeste van de geschatte 1,4 miljard armste mensen ter wereld leven nog steeds op het platteland. Toch hebben de meeste van hen niet het eigendomsrecht of andere rechten op het land dat hun primaire bron van inkomsten is. Al hebben miljoenen families door hervormingen landrechten gekregen, toch waren niet alle pogingen geslaagd. Advocaten aan het Rural Development Institute en de University of Washington School of Law in Seattle hebben meer dan vier decennia besteed aan het adviseren, formuleren en het toepassen van de resultaten van eigendomsrechthervormingen over de hele wereld. Dit boek biedt het belangrijkste overzicht van dat werk.
