    This paper analyses the land tenure reform that took place in Mexico in 1992 and its PROCEDE programme (Ejido Rights Certification Programme). It considers the counter-agrarian reform's objectives, the context in which it was proposed, and the different actors involved. It delves into the main points of debate, the mechanisms used to finally get the reform approved. Although this reform was not part of an explicit policy to reduce ethnic inequalities, its proponents argued that it would reduce the poverty of peasants and indigenous people. Almost 30 years after this reform was enacted, it is necessary to analyse its results. We consider how the subsequent political landscape influenced the evolution of PROCEDE, the agrarian structure changes, the collective ownership of land, and the political situation of the ejidos and communities in the new scenario.

    For a COVID-19 like pandemic, the Achilles heel is an unsuspecting villain – rapid and global land use changes. The way governments, businesses and communities see, relate to and use land, not only influences the outbreak but also determines their impact on humanity and development. Drawing upon empirical evidences from epidemiology and land governance, this article argues why the current situation implores the need to focus on the interaction between land use and global diseases. Apart from dwelling on causal links, we discuss the externalities that industrial, urban and rural development in India are poised to face because of the pandemic’s potential impact on land, biodiversity and wildlife habitat, property rights and housing. We also underline reform options for policy and practice, that must be discussed and acted upon

    Using updated data, we analyze the long-run effects of two British colonial institutions established in India. Iyer (2010) showed that areas under direct colonial rule had fewer schools, health centers, and roads than areas under indirect colonial rule. Two decades later, we find that these differences have been eliminated. Banerjee and Iyer (2005) found lower agricultural investments and productivity in areas with landlord-based colonial land tenure systems. Our updated data finds that only some of these differences have been eliminated. We conclude that the impact of colonial institutions can eventually fade away under the influence of targeted policies.

    This is a plan for the final component of the "Experiments for Development of Climate Smart Agriculture" (SMARTEX), which is a collaborative research and capacity-building program with School of Economics and Business (SEB) at NMBU, Ås, Norway and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Malawi, as the main partners. The Project builds on the long-term Collaboration between SEB-NMBU and LUANAR, including under NORHED I, the project Climate-Smart Natural Resource Management and Policy (CLISNARP). LUANAR has established its own PhD-program in Economics and is in strong need to further develop and strengthen its capacity to run this program. SEB-NMBU will contribute to this within the area of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, Climate Economics and Land Tenure and Property Markets. Especially the use of experimental methods will be applied to issues associated with finding climate smart solutions for sustainable intensification of agriculture in Malawi. Malawi is a very densely populated country that is highly dependent on agriculture. Food security is a very important policy objective for the country which faces severe climatic risks in terms of frequent droughts and floods. Researchers from SEB-NMBU will in collaboration with two postdocs and senior researchers from LUANAR carry out joint research within two specific areas. The first is to assess ways to transform the existing input subsidy program (FISP) to a program that more strongly stimulates Climate Smart Agriculture through reducing storage losses and land degradation. The second component will focus on land and water rights in relation to irrigation agriculture which holds potential but where institutional challenges need more attention. The project has a Malawian postdoc in each of these areas. These two postdocs received their PhDs from SEB-NMBU under CLISNARP (NORHED I). The project will help equip LUANAR to do more pro-active experimental research on these high priority policy areas. The project will establish a strong database through targeted surveys combined with field experiments that will serve as the basis for joint research by the postdocs in team with senior researchers from SEB-NMBU and LUANAR. The Pre-Analysis Plan presented here for ethical approval at HH-NMBU is for the second component of this project where Sarah Tione is the postdoc researcher. When the project started in 2021 neither NMBU or LUANAR had IRBs for ethical approval of research projects. However, as pre-registration and ethical approval have become the new international standard we have hereby prepared such a document for the remaining part of the project. The plan is to implement this fieldwork from early June 2024. The project will end July 31st, 2025 but the researchers involved expect to continue the analyses of the data for publication and dissemination purposes after that.

  6. Changing patterns of land access, inheritance and emerging female village headpersons in a patriarchal society among the Tumbuka in Northern Malawi

    The Tumbuka are normally described as patrilineal where inheritance of property including land, cattle and village headmanship is from father to son. There is evidence that initially the Tumbuka were matrilineal. In this society, village heads are normally men, and land and other property are owned and inherited by men. However, there is an emergence of female village headpersons in this patrilineal society. This paper, using data from the Malawi Land Tenure and Social Capital (MLTSC) project, examines the factors that have led to this change and implications for residence at marriage. The study found that female village headpersons are largely single and that they are also chosen because there is no son or eligible male in the lineage to inherit the village headmanship. In terms of land inheritance, although land is largely inherited by sons, there is evidence from the data that in cases where there are no sons land can be inherited by daughters. Daughters also have access to land if they are divorced and they return to their natal villages. While inheritance rules exist, this paper shows that they are not as rigid.

    This paper is about social relations in customary lands for the matrilineal uxorilocal culture of the Lomwe, Nyanja and Yao tribes in Southern Malawi. The study was carried out in the districts of Chiradzulu and Phalombe. Qualitative methods were used to examine local histories and practices to identify the social and power relations between males and females in matrilineal groups and the roles of chiefs, extended families, and traditional practices in access to and control over customary land. By focusing on local histories the study documents that patterns of access to and control over customary lands are historical in nature and embedded in social ties and power relations. Male and female members of the household or family have equal use rights but unequal ownership rights. The land belongs to the extended family and not to the community or individuals. Instead of saying the land belongs to 'me' the people say the land belongs to 'us' even though the individuals may have user rights in perpetuity. The 'us' implies the extended family and not the community. The power and control over the land is located in the group of sisters and not in the head of family (mwini-mbumba) or the Chief. The patterns of control have to be understood for proper decisions to be made on how to organize access to and control over land, especially in a country where livelihoods are dependent on agriculture or are land based in nature.
