The focus is on analyzing how citizens, state institutions and concerned (inter)national actors aim to find solutions to disputes, tension and conflict that are part of social life. The authors have approached the subject of Land, Law and Politics in Africa from a variety of disciplinary angles. The issues at stake comprise land access and land use, state politics and democratization efforts, the relationship between constitutional/state law and customary law, the challenges of urban and rural conflicts, border issues and the conceptions of (human) rights. On the basis of new empirical studies, the authors plead for a more holistic perspective on the above issues and on developmental policy in general. The book has 15 chapters in four thematic parts, focusing on historical and cultural aspects of politics and authority; land law and land disputes; constitutionalism and politics; and conflict studies. The volume is also a tribute to the work of Gerti Hesseling (1946-2009), a Dutch Africanist with a successful career as a scholar of constitutional and land law, focusing on West Africa. 410 0$aAfrican dynamics ;$v10. 606 $aLand tenure$zAfrica 606 $aLand use, Rural$xGovernment policy$zAfrica 606 $aLaw$zAfrica 606 $aCustomary law$zAfrica 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica 606 $aConflict management$zAfrica 615 0$aLand tenure 615 0$aLand use, Rural$xGovernment policy 615 0$aLaw 615 0$aCustomary law 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aConflict management 676 $a303.6096 701 $aAbbink$b J$0658788 701 $aBruijn$b Mirjam de$f1962-$01513638 701 $aHesseling$b Gerti$0243639 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781517203321 996 $aLand, law and politics in Africa$93748241 997 $aUNINA
