• W765664199 abstract "Catherine Boone. 2014. Property and Political Order in Africa: Land Rights and the Structure of Politics. New York: Cambridge University Press. 416 pp. Catherine Boone's excellent new contribution to the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics Series deals with the topic of rural land tenure regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa and their effects on power relations, electoral politics, and the scope and scale of civil conflict. The book is directly inspired by the works of Homer-Dixon (1999) and Kahl (2006) who have argued that environmental and demographic stress can lead to various forms of conflict, but that this is dependent on other political and institutional characteristics. This argument is now advanced further by Boone, who demonstrates how variations in land tenure regimes, in a context of rising pressures on land, determine whether conflict remains hidden in individual and household relations, is restrained to the local level, or becomes absorbed by national-level politics where it can lead to more widespread political violence. The crucial distinction in land tenure regimes is the one between neocustomary and statist regimes (Chapter 2). In neocustomary regimes national governments control land access in rural areas indirectly via local chiefs or leaders who have considerable authority to define property relations in their locality and to determine who has a right to land possession through communal legacy. In statist regimes national governments directly control property relations in rural localities via powerful executive agents on the ground. Statist land policies are particularly visible in resettlement schemes benefiting favoured (ethnic) groups. Tenure regimes are therefore intimately linked with questions of citizenship and rights to entitlement, particularly salient issues in contexts of high in-migration. An extensive literature overview reveals a universe of cases which have been coded according to land tenure regime, land competition, migration patterns, and the form land conflict undertakes (Chapter 3). Cases are identified at the subnational level as tenure regimes tend to vary within countries. This leads to a typology of five possible situations in a context of rising land pressure. In zones of high in-migration, land competition follows ethnic lines yet is constrained to the local level in neocustomary regimes (I), whereas in statist regimes ethnic demands are expressed in the national political arena (II). In zones of no or low in-migration, land conflicts are restrained within the family (III) or against the local chieftaincy (IV) in neocustomary regimes. In statist regimes they could give rise to expression in national politics, but this last type is mostly seen as hypothetical (V). The typology supports the argumentation throughout the book, which is itself structured around three topics: ethnicity, political scale of conflict, and elections. …" @default.
