Decoupled Implementation of New-Wave Land Reforms: Decentralisation and Local Governance of Land in Tanzania
研究了坦桑尼亚新一波土地改革中权力下放在地方层面的实施情况,发现由于行政层级脱节,改革进展缓慢且不均衡,建议更多关注地方土地管理结构。
Abstract Decentralisation is a key element in the new wave of land reforms that have been introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. However, not much research has been carried out into their implementation at the local level. Consequently, reforms are described in old-fashioned terms. Through comparative case studies in Tanzania, this article unpacks implementation as a process consisting of multiple administrative layers and potential actors. It concludes that implementation is slow and uneven due to the decoupling of layers within the formal land administration. Greater attention should be directed towards the local level as a part of the land administration structure.
