The Impact of Land Privatization on Cooperation in Farm Labor in Kenya
The Impact of Privatization on Land Inheritance among Samburu Pastoralists in Kenya
Privatization of communal land among a community of pastoralists in northern Kenya creates a gap in social institutions relating to land inheritance. This analysis shows that the emergence of a new rule for inheritance is a complex social process and that new rules do not arise automatically. Using theories of institutions and collective action, this study examines the process through which rules of inheritance are emerging in Siambu since land p…

Land Privatization and Pastoralist Well-being in Kenya
East African pastoralists have well-developed systems of communal land management that have been challenged by recent demands from some pastoralists for land privatization. This article analyses the impact on household well-being of privatizing land among a community of Samburu pastoralists in northern Kenya. Using longitudinal data from household surveys conducted in 2000 and 2005, trends in wealth, income, stratification and livelihood strategi…

Transforming Institutions among Pastoralists: Inequality and Land Privatization
This article analyzes how a community of Samburu pastoralists in Kenya transformed their land tenure system from communal to private ownership.

Inequalities and conflicting interests among different social groups provided impetus for change as well as ammunition to attack or defend common …
