Land governance has taken center stage in global development discourse and practice. 'Respect for land rights', 'women's land rights' and 'tenure security' have emerged as central concepts, with tenure formalization and community consultation emerging as key instruments through which these aims are advanced. A long history of scholarship questioning the benefits of titling and consultation and highlighting attendant risks seems to have been buried under the enthusiasm of this new global consensus. This paper offers one explanation for this paradox, exploring the workings of a global knowledge regime in which socially progressive language is deployed to advance instrumentalities which are as likely to pry open as to safeguard communal land in the face of outside interests
