Global Trends in Land Tenure Reform: Gender Impacts

This volume explores the gendered dimensions of recent land governance transformations across the globe, shedding important light on how the intersection of these complex contemporary forces are reconfiguring livelihoods and impacting womens positions, their tenure security and their well-being. It brings together empirical community case studies from around the world that describe, historicize, and situate land (or land-based resource) governance transformation processes as a product of contemporary forces and country/regional specificities. Each contribution carefully analyzes the gendered dimensions of these transformations exploring how women are impacted by and respond to these processes of change.
