This book delivers new conceptual and empirical studies around the design and evaluation of land governance, with a focus on land management approaches, land policy issues, advances in pro-poor land tenure, and land-based gender concerns. It explores alternative approaches for land management and land tenure by examining tenure experiences internationally. A section on "Creating new understandings," outlines concepts and principles for interventions in land management and land policy. The "Exploring alternative approaches for land management and land tenure" section showcases applicable land management and land policy interventions. Another section provides case studies of the poor and strategies for securing their tenure across the world. Specific issues for women, youth and men in relation to land are described. Land governance developments from theory to practice are critiqued. Case studies include examples from China, Ghana, Thailand, Korea, Germany, Namibia, Greece, Kenya, Brazil, Myanmar, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.
