Synopsis (short abstract) This issue of Land Reform, Land Settlement and Cooperatives contains an interesting and wide-ranging set of contributions providing insights into land related issues ranging from Italy to the Central Andes, and from the historical development of sustainable tenure practices to aspects of agriculture sector planning. The eight articles featured open with that of Lavigne Delville, which addresses issues relating to insecurity of tenure in West Africa, and identifies what the paths of cha nge currently appear to be. The second article, by Pica-Ciamarra, Otte and Chilonda, assesses the important issue of how livestock policies relate to land and rural conflicts in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. In their article, Teyssier, Raharison and Ravelomanantsoa look at local competence in land reform in Madagascar. Ravera examines the organization of participation for territorial development, focusing on the example of the central Andes in Peru. Abdoul Karim, Bretel and Chab bert analyse the processes of development and implementation of the Code Rural in the Niger. Herrera Garibay reviews and analyses FAO’s experience in decentralization and land reform. Finally, Cacciarru provides an interesting historical perspective on resource access and land tenure, looking at its relevance today in the context of Sardinia, Italy.

    This issue of Land Reform, Land Settlement and Cooperatives includes interesting descriptions of land tenure and related policies in Uganda, Tunisia, the United Republic of Tanzania and Morocco. Two thought-provoking articles on access to land and other assets focus on policies to reduce poverty and the function of markets in the allocation of production resources. In the first, J. Melmed-Sanjak and S. Lastarria-Cornhiel conclude that any reduction in rural poverty requires a series of policy ef forts that recognize the links existing between household options of access to assets, the access strategies they adopt and macrostructural changes. In the second article, F. Vogelgesang argues in favour of applying an institutional analysis to examine the possibilities and limitations of an approach that favours market mechanisms as an alternative to the discouraging results of past redistributive reform in Latin America. The article by C. Guanziroli seeks to place the ongoing process of land r eform in Brazil in the context of the new orientations and trends of economic growth and globalization.
