    Comoras, África, África oriental

    Following a chaotic political decolonization, from 1975 to 2000, the Comoros failed to sustain the extension of private land ownership pursued since the beginning of the twentieth century and to implement land reform prepared with the assistance of the FAO and the UNDP but abandoned after the assassination of the President of the Republic in 1989. This reform was based on a form of heritage management recognizing the plural and complementary nature of modes of securing land tenure.

    This study reports on in-depth case
    studies of dzud (extreme cold weather during winter,
    subsequent to a very dry summer) impacts and responses.
    Focus groups, key informant interviews, a household survey,
    and photovoice, were used to document individual and
    community experiences with dzud, and identify the factors
    that make some households and communities more vulnerable,
    and some less vulnerable, to the impacts of dzud, and the

    This paper examines whether cooperative
    behavior by respondents measured as contributions in a
    one-shot public goods game correlates with reported
    pro-forest collective action behaviors. All the outcomes
    analyzed are costly in terms of time, land, or money. The
    study finds significant evidence that more cooperative
    individuals (or those who believe their group members will
    cooperate) engage in collective action behaviors that

    Madagascar

    This report examines the question of
    land titling in Madagascar, a country where modern and
    informal tenure systems coexist and overlap to a significant
    extent. The report reviews three main arguments for land
    titling and their relevance for Madagascar in order to
    provide policy implications and evaluations. The first is
    that land titling serves as protection against
    expropriation. Second, titles may also facilitate land

    Land is the integrating component of all
    livelihoods depending on farm, forest, rangeland, or water
    (rivers, lakes, coastal marine) habitats. Due to varying
    political, social, and economic factors, the heavy use of
    natural resources to supply a rapidly growing global
    population and economy has resulted in the unintended
    mismanagement and degradation of land and ecosystems. This
    book provides strategic focus to the implementation of

    This is covers land administration and
    reform in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is highly relevant to all

    practical steps to turn the hugely controversial subject of
    "land grabs" into a development opportunity by
    improving land governance to reduce the risks of
    dispossessing poor landholders while ensuring mutually
    beneficial investors' deals. This book shows how Sub

    India

    As India continues to urbanize and move
    towards a less agricultural- and more industry-based
    economy, land demands will continue to grow. Its urban
    population is expected to increase by more than 200 million
    by 2030, requiring 4 to 8 million hectares of land for
    residential use alone. Demands for infrastructure and
    industry could add a similar amount, summing to total land
    demand of 5 to10 percent of the land area currently used for
