Socioeconomic Change and Land Use in Africa

The Transformation of Property Rights in Maasailand

About this book

This study investigates how and why a group ranch members in Kajiado District, Kenya, supported the subdivision of their collective landholdings into individual, titled units, and what outcomes resulted in this transition to individual rights. Viewed over a longer time scale, the author finds that politics is at the core of institutional change.
