本文介绍了一系列研究当代土地改革在实践中的影响的论文。本文着重探讨了国家和社区在土地改革中的作用。报告认为,国家主导的战略在实地遇到了重大问题,因为它们依赖于“自上而下”的举措和官僚主义的实施。经验和概念上的深刻见解表明,土地改革的重点从国家转向社区是有好处的。强调社区要求国家对“自下而上”的政治要求作出更积极的反应,对地方机构和做法的变化作出更积极的反应。
This essay introduces a collection of papers that examine the effects of contemporary land reforms in practice. This essay focuses on the roles of state and community in land reform. It argues that state-led strategies encounter significant problems on the ground due to their reliance on “top-down” initiatives and bureaucratic implementation. Empirical and conceptual insights suggest the benefits of a shift in emphasis from state to community in land reform. Emphasis on community calls for a state that is more reactive to political demands originating “from below” and more responsive to variation in local institutions and practices.
