Book Description
This thesis provides a new approach to the Ethiopian Land Law debate. The basic argument made in this thesis is that even if the Ethiopian Constitution provides and guarantees common ownership of land (together with the state) to the people, this right has not been fully realized whether in terms of land accessibility, enjoyability, and payment of fair compensation in the event of expropriation. Expropriation is an inherent power of the state to acquire land for public purpose activities. It is an important development tool in a country such as Ethiopia where expropriation remains the only method to acquire land. Furthermore, the two preconditions of payment of fair compensation and existence of public purpose justifications are not strictly followed in Ethiopia. The state remains the sole beneficiary of the process by capturing the full profit of land value, while paying inadequate compensation to those who cede their land by expropriation. Secondly, the broader public purpose power of the state in expropriating the land for unlimited activities puts the property owners under imminent risk of expropriation.

Transfer of Land Rights in Ethiopia
Author: Daniel Behailu Gebreamanuel
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789462365476
Category : Environmental protection
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Land rights in general, and transferability of land rights in particular, have been a mind boggling subject for intellectuals, donors, and politicians in Ethiopia. The question of land and the rights attached to it has been a cause for political turbulence and instability in the nation as well. It is important to study the challenges of land policies pursued by successive regimes and the historical evolutionary course leading to the current land policy. The deadlocks on land policy issues in Ethiopia might superficially seem to hinge on preferences of which land governance system or legal regime must the nation adopt or adapt. However, land issues in Ethiopia are more than economic factors or principles of efficiency and preference of ownership systems. This book explores the limitations of the current land system in Ethiopia, by assessing and analyzing the laws and policies pertaining to land and transferability of rights over land. This includes an evaluation of existing legislation against the background of the history of land use in Ethiopia and ensuing political struggles. Contents include: History of Land Tenures in Ethiopia * The Current Legal Regimes of Land Governance in Ethiopia * Tensions between de jure and de facto Transfer of Land Rights in Ethiopia: Informal Land Deals vs. the Command of the Statute Laws * Land Reform Policy and Laws in Ethiopia: Towards Responsible Land Governance * Land Governance and Human Rights in Ethiopia * Land Governance and Environmental Protection in Ethiopia * Land Policy Options. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Environmental Law, Property Law, Human Rights Law, Politics, African Studies]

Property Rights in a Very Poor Country: Tenure Insecurity and Investment in Ethiopia
Author: Madhur Gautam
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
This paper provides evidence from one of the poorest countries of the world that the property rights matter for efficiency, investment, and growth. With all land state-owned, the threat of land redistribution never appears far off the agenda. Land rental and leasing have been made legal, but transfer rights remain restricted and the perception of continuing tenure insecurity remains quite strong. Using a unique panel data set, this study investigates whether transfer rights and tenure insecurity affect household investment decisions, focusing on trees and shrubs. The panel data estimates suggest that limited perceived transfer rights, and the threat of expropriation, negatively affect long-term investment in Ethiopian agriculture, contributing to the low returns from land and perpetuating low growth and poverty.

Laws of Creation

Pages : 286
Book Description
Cass and Hylton explain how technological advances strengthen the case for intellectual property laws, and argue convincingly that IP laws help create a wealthier, more successful, more innovative society than alternative legal systems. Ignoring the social value of IP rights and making what others create “free” would be a costly mistake indeed.
