Land Law Reform examines the wide-spread efforts to reform
land law in developing countries and countries in transition, drawing
in particular upon the experience of the World Bank and the Rural
Development Institute. The book considers the role of land law reform
in the development process and analyzes how the World Bank has sought
to support these legal changes in client countries. It reviews the
experience with reform of laws affecting land access and rights in
achieving gender equity, identifies opportunities for reinforcing
environmentally sustainable development through land law reform, and
examines from both growth and poverty alleviation perspectives the
effectiveness of reforms to formalize property rights and liberalize
land markets. The concluding chapter recommends some basic priorities
for land law reforms.
John W. Bruce is a senior counsel in the Legal Vice-Presidency of
the World Bank, and a former director of the Land Tenure Center of the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has published extensively on land
law and land policy in developing countries. Renee Giovarelli, David
Bledsoe, Leonard Rolfes, and Robert Mitchell are staff attorneys with
the Rural Development Institute of Seattle, Washington, a nonprofit
organization that promotes and advises on land-related policy and legal
reform in developing and transition countries. All have done fieldwork
and advised extensively on land law reform and have published widely on
this topic.
