本研究通过考察其与国家建设的密切而复杂的关系，揭示了卢旺达最近的土地法（土地所有权）改革。内战后的卢旺达将土地法改革列为优先事项，并得到外部供资机构的大力支持，成为第一个在其全境完成土地登记的非洲国家。土地法改革应被视为卢旺达爱国阵线政府经常在农村地区实施的激进干预措施的一部分，因此，土地法改革与其加强现有政治秩序的愿望密切相关。政府利用改革和外部资金支持来实现这一目标。然而，尽管一次性土地登记取得了成功，卢旺达在使可持续的登记制度制度化方面遇到了严重困难，因为土地交易只在例外情况下才被记录。此外，这表明政府没有强烈的动机去收集农村地区房产的准确信息。记录的资料与实际情况之间的差距越来越大，可能影响到对卢旺达极为重要的土地管理，从而可能破坏国家对社会的控制。
This study sheds light on recent land law (land tenure) reform in Rwanda by examining its close and complex relations with state-building. By prioritising land law reform and receiving strong support from external funding agencies, the post-civil war Rwanda became the first African country to complete land registration throughout its territory. Land law reform should be considered a part of the radical interventions in rural areas frequently implemented by the Rwandan Patriotic Frontled government and, therefore, has been closely connected to its aspiration to reinforce the existent political order. The government has utilised reform and external financial support for this purpose. However, despite the success of the one-time land registration, Rwanda has encountered serious difficulties in institutionalising sustainable registering systems since transactions of land have been recorded only in exceptional cases. Additionally, it suggests that the government does not have a strong incentive to collect accurate information about properties in rural areas. The widening gap between recorded information and the real situation may affect land administration, which is of tremendous importance to Rwanda and, thus, possibly undermine state control over society.
