Description

Analyses the role of land as a place and source of conflict, especially with regard to policy development, crisis management and post-war/post-conflict reconstruction. It provides insight into the nature of policy-making and delves into the underlying causes of land issues, not only at national level but also in terms of broader Africa. The book examines issues in Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, northern Cameroon, Namibia, Mozambique, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
