    Item
    Decentralised land governance: Case studies and local voices from Botswana, Madagascar and Mozambique
    (Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2011) Kleinbooi, Karin; de Satgé, Rick; Tanner, Christopher
    Decentralisation has been on the Southern African development agenda for a long time. It is a concept which appears deceptively simple. The principle of subsidiarity holds that decision making about local development priorities needs to take place as close to the people locally involved as possible. Decision making about land access and resource allocation is a key component of a broader decentralisation agenda. However, on closer examination, discourses around decentralisation are complex. They combine preand post colonial histories, changing development trajectories, and understandings about tenure and governance systems. They are set against major shifts in global and local balances of power and fast changing socio-economic relations which further marginalise the poor and deepen inequality.
