The dominant public policy and land reform literature, broadly divided between state-centred and society-centred approaches, has difficulty in fully explaining the unexpected outcomes of the CARP process. Going beyond these dichotomous views, and using Fox's interactive framework for analysing state-society relations, this article argues that redistributive land reform can be implemented in a politically hostile situation when initiatives by state reformists 'from above' positively interact with social mobilizations 'from below
