There is wide engagement with large-scale land deals in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly from the perspectives of development and international political economy. Recently, scholars have increasingly pointed to a gendered lacuna in this literature. Engagement with gender tends to focus on potential differential impacts for men and women, and it also flags the need for more detailed empirical research of specific land deals.

Dans cet article l'auteur explore les possibilités et les limites d'une loi foncière pour résoudre les problèmes fonciers constatés dans une société donnée. Après avoir dénoncé l'approche instrumentaliste en matière législative, qui consiste à croire qu'il suffit d'adopter une loi 'moderne' pour que soient résolus les problèmes, l'auteur préconise l'adoption d'une approche sociologique par le législateur, qui devra accepter qu'une réforme foncière s'adresse à une société pluraliste.
