Resumen:
Inglés

This book offers a critical analysis of the performance of land reform programmes around the world. The contributors note that there is consensus on the need for reforming land tenure systems in developing countries. A few powerful landowners, including transnational corporations engaged in environmentally unsustainable farming, have control over much of the fertile land. However, while national and international bodies, as well as NGOs agree about the need for action, they vary in their approaches to the problem. The contributors examine the reasons for success and failure of past reform efforts, and review the repercussions of the market-orientated approach to land reform linked to structural adjustment policies. They argue that a flexible approach to reform is the most appropriate strategy toward alleviating rural poverty, and that comprehensive land redistribution is key to rural livelihood improvements.
