This book provides a significant contribution to the literature on land reform in various African contexts. While the economic evidence is clear that secure property rights are a necessary condition for catalysing broad-based economic development, the governance process by which those rights are secured is less clear. This book details the historical complexity of land rights and the importance of understanding this history in the process of trying to improve tenure security. Through a combination of single country case studies, comparative case studies and regional comparisons, the book is unequivocal that good governance is paramount for improving the performance of land reform programmes. All attempts at moving towards more formal secure tenure require congruence with informal norms, beliefs and values, and a set of clear systems and processes to avoid corruption and unintended negative consequences.

Warning: Other publishers' versions purport to be the full report but omit the footnotes or appendix, or use poor print to squeeze into one volume; if theirs is less than 845 pages, it's not complete. We solve that by breaking it into two volumes. Properly sized in manageable book form, but retaining the pagination of the original -- its readability as a true book (and not just a governmental memo) is enhanced by breaking the total report into two parts. This edition is for those taking the report seriously as current events and as history ... as an accumulation of evidence and conclusions worth reading in its own right. Yet its accurate pagination, rather than reformatting into a smaller footprint or using illegible print, retains its ability to be cited and referenced, and without razor-thin pages.The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was formed July 1, 2021. It reviewed over a million documents and interviewed over a thousand witnesses. Its composition was bipartisan, albeit not in the way GOP leadership had proposed (as discussed in Prof. Childress's Foreword in Part 1), and many of its hearings were public. The product of its investigation is this historic and detailed report. This edition by Quid Pro Books divides the report roughly in half, for ease of presentation. Part 1 includes the new Foreword, detailed introductory material by the Select Committee including its "executive summary," and pages 1-372 (including chapters 1-3) of the committee's final report. This Part 2 excerpts pages 373-815, beginning with chapter 4, ending with chapter 8, recommendations, and all four appendices. The reader is advised to obtain both volumes. This is the trade paperback edition from Quid Pro.Quid Pro Books is an academic publisher of classic and contemporary nonfiction books on law, history, political science, and sociology, and is the ebook publisher of leading law journals from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and the University of Chicago. The Foreword in Part 1 is authored by Steven Alan Childress, a senior professor of law at Tulane University.

Empowering the New American Worker identifies what Cato Institute scholars believe to be the most important market-oriented policies for today's American worker, covering a broad array of issues including education, housing, remote work, health care, child care, transportation, criminal justice, and licensing.Since at least 2016, policymakers on both the right and the left have lamented the plight of the American worker and promised to fix it. Unfortunately, the most common "pro-worker" policies today -- heavy on government intervention in labor, trade, or other markets -- suffer from critical flaws. They overlook the numerous laws and regulations that distort markets, harm American workers, and breed economic sclerosis. They ignore market¿based solutions that can boost workers' independence, mobility, wealth, resilience, and quality of life-all without the inevitable economic and political problems that come with more spending and bureaucracy. And, perhaps most importantly, they target an "American worker" that often bears little resemblance to the U.S. workforce's complex and ever¿changing reality, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.Recent trends in manufacturing, remote work, independent work, globalization, and other areas argue for new policies for a New American Worker. Instead of promoting a certain kind of job, promising cradle-to-grave protection from disruption, or presuming that the employment and lifestyle trends of today will last beyond tomorrow, policymakers should seek to maximize Americans' autonomy, mobility, and living standards.Each chapter of Empowering the New American Worker identifies the problems facing American workers and suggests pro-market ways for federal, state, and local officials to better address these challenges. These policies will give individuals the freedom and resources they need to be the American worker they want to be -- not the one many policymakers think they should be -- and to be happier and more prosperous in the process.

Communities are not static or stationary organisms. They are fluid and dynamic and change over time. The role of community development in the change and transformation of a community is critical to improving and enhancing the quality of life of the community and its residents. This book examines how community development changes a community and why that change matters, while also examining the relationship between community development and social capital. When a community improves its social capital, change can happen because people can leverage their networks to produce better results for themselves. This book also looks at comprehensive community development and collective impact models and several case studies that utilize these models. It also looks at how the transformation and revitalization of a neighborhood through new housing creates opportunities for people everywhere, and how effective placemaking strategies empower diverse groups of people in a community to reimagine their public spaces and the built environment to be more livable, walkable, creative, and sustainable while fostering greater connections with people in their community.
