Land issues and conflicts occur all over the African continent, all the time. Stories
regarding land mushroom on a continuous basis. Although many of them are not
new, they continue to change and are extremely complex and embedded. This leads
to difficulties in dealing with them and results in questions around the legitimacy
of forms of conflict intervention and prevention, many of which do not take into
consideration the major – and thus potentially recurring – causes of conflict. It is on
this basis that the conference forming the foundation of this book was organised.
Supported by the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS-Research) – in partnership
with the French embassies of Pretoria, Harare, Gaborone, Windhoek and Maputo;
the office of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Harare;
the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD);
the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); and the University
of Pretoria (UP) – The Changing Politics of Land: Domestic Policies, Crisis
Management and Regional Norms conference gathered in Pretoria on 28 and 29
November 2005. Papers were selected by a scientific review committee composed of
members of all funding institutions, and included the main research institutions and
organisations specialising in these questions (UP and the University of the Western
Cape, both from South Africa; CIRAD; French Research Institute for Development;
French National Institute for Agricultural Research; the Institute for Security Studies;
the African Institute for Agrarian Studies of Harare; the Legal Assistance Center of
Windhoek; Human Rights Watch; etc.). This book is a collection of updated versions
of most of the papers presented at the conference.
We would like to convey our gratitude to all the funders, as well as to the many
contributors and participants, who made it possible through both the conference
and this publication to present the state of knowledge on land issues and conflicts in
Africa. They also made it possible to keep alive a necessary debate on land questions
in Africa, despite the sensitive context and acute controversies.
