Essays in Land Law in Tanzania

KShs928.00

This is a book of essays on significant themes of the Land Law of Tanzania. The author’s argument is that law is an effective instrument for the articulation and implementation of state policies and political objectives. Throughout history, the land policy and land tenure were devised in order to facilitate plantation agriculture and peasant agriculture. In that pursuit, the state has consistently vested in itself extensive supervisory powers over land.

Multipartyism, Constitution and the Law in Africa

The author’s thesis is that African states must fashion political systems and constitutional models to suit their politics and history. The author theorizes on constitutional models and mechanisms that may assist in avoiding the failures of multipartyism that occurred in Africa in the 1960s.
