• Pouvoir et foncier : faire et défaire la propriété en Afrique contemporaine - Yaoundé I University (Cameroon) - deadline (abstract for a book) before 10 06 2026

  Online 21 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 388 009 (extracts)

  Throughout Africa, the state is constantly at the heart of the dynamics of land regulation. Its status differs according to the position it adopts. Peacemaker or vigilante when it acts as a mediator to neutralize the conflicts that arise; executioner or captor when it uses the means of public power or its legal prerogatives to pre-empt a domain that may or may not be recognized as individual or even community property; broker or facilitator when it acts as a negotiating interface between various parties in the context of market or non-market transactions. In this way, the state appears to be the essential mechanism on which social forces in relation to land ownership are built and built upon, stumbled upon and unravelled.
