Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Since Haiti's independence on January 1, 1804, the land issue has been a source of considerable conflict, with the result that inefficient land management remains a major problem in the country to this day. In this regard, this book analyzes the inefficiency of land management in Haiti, highlighting the contradictions and flaws in land legislation. Despite the existence of legal texts intended to regulate land ownership and administration, their enforcement remains limited, marred by corruption, the lack of a reliable land registry, the proliferation of property titles, and recurring land disputes. The book demonstrates how this poor land governance hinders economic development, exacerbates social inequalities, and increases the country's environmental vulnerability. Through a critical analysis, it highlights the gap between the intentions of the law and the reality on the ground, while proposing avenues for reflection toward a sustainable and inclusive reform of land management.
