    Mozambique

    Assesses the process of rural land registration in Mozambique and the outcomes for poor and marginalised groups. The research finds that community land registration, under the 1997 land law, can strengthen community rights to use and benefit from their land in relation to outsider interests in land. However, intra-community and intra-household land rights are not addressed, since it is only community land boundaries which are registered.

    Mozambique

    Assesses the process of land registration in peri-urban areas of Mozambique and its outcomes for poor and marginalised groups. The research finds that there is little awareness of land registration processes on the part of low-income groups. The ‘individual’ registration process is slow and bureaucratic with high transaction costs and corrupt practices on the part of state institutions. Unlike the case of rural land, specific regulations governing the use of urban land are not yet in place.

    Afrique du Sud

    South African president Mbeki has characterised the developmental challenge in his country in terms of integrating the structurally disconnected ‘two economies’. On the one hand the modern industrial, mining, agricultural, financial and services sector, and on the other the ‘third world economy’ found in those urban and rural areas where the majority of poor people live.This draft chapter challenges this characterisation and focuses on the rural dimensions of the ‘two economies’ debate.

    The ownership of land has always been an important precondition for lasting socio-economic situation and the development of the country. Despite that, there is a process of learning going on in practically all the new member countries, which are still learning that production efficiency of agriculture depends in a large part on the stability of land ownership and its tranquil farming. Despite many fundamental and substantial differences, we can say that hitherto development in land law was tremendous.

    Bulgarie

    The area of arable land in Bulgaria continually decreases. Agricultural land is divided into 10 categories on the basis of soil quality and characteristics and into 8 classes on the basis of erosion degree. An increase of contaminated land has been observed. The most serious problem is water erosion as it affects 80% of the total arable land. On the contrary, the use of fertilizers and pesticides has decreased in recent years. Priority measures of the governmental policy have found place in the National Agriculture and Rural Development Plan over the 2000-2006 period.

    Ghana

    This paper argues that Ghanaian litigants in land disputes favour authoritative state legal-institutions over out-of-court settlements. Current policy debates on how to protect the land rights of the majority of customary land holders revolve around the respective merits of customary and non-state regulation (said to be accessible, flexible and socially embedded) versus state systems, which are said to offer more certainty, impartiality and nondiscriminatory codes and procedures.
