GENDER, ETHNICITY, AND LANDED PROPERTY IN ALBANIA
Methods used to privatize state property attest to Albania's commitment to a democratic and egalitarian society: farmland was distributed to the households working on the ex-collectives and state farms, and housing was sold at a nominal price to the families occupying it. There are social issues, however, that influence not only the potential role of property ownership in the development of a democratic society, but also the true workability of some persons' political and economic opportunities. This paper examines two of these social issues: gender and ethnicity. Assuming that property ownership is a necessary condition for establishing a democratic market economy, the potential denial to exercise those rights for a significant proportion of the population on the basis of gender or ethnicity could undermine Albania's attempts to establish a democratic society and dynamic market economy based on equal opportunity.Right of property -- Social aspects -- Albania, Customary law -- Albania, Land tenure -- Social aspects -- Albania, Women -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Albania, Ethnic groups -- Albania, Women farmers -- Albania, Albania -- Social conditions, Labor and Human Capital, Land Economics/Use,
FORMALIZING INFORMALITY: THE PRAEDIAL REGISTRATION SYSTEM IN PERU
The Praedial Property Registration system has been presented as an alternative system to traditional registries for the formalization of immovable property. Much of the earlier design and pilot work for the Praedial Property Registration system was done by the Peruvian private organization, Instituto Libertad y Democracia (ILD). They claim that in Peru they "have formalized over 150,000 properties much more quickly, and at dramatically less costs, than traditional titling and registration programs" in three-and-a-half years during the early 1990s. This property formalization system has been trademarked as PROFORM. It is being offered to other countries as a quick and inexpensive way to convert informal property in the hands of a large proportion of the population into legally recognized private property, and as a source of capital for the grassroots development of these countries. This study assesses the functioning of this system in Peru and its replicability in other countries. There is no easily accessible documentation on how this property formalization program has actually functioned in Peru, and it is therefore difficult for development agencies to determine its applicability elsewhere. This assessment of the Registro Predial in Peru is an attempt to document the functioning of an important component of this formalization program. The study examines different aspects of property formalization and related institutions and processes. The scope of this assessment, therefore, includes not only the Registro Predial registration system, but also the titling process (prior to registration) and the credit worthiness and credit opportunities for titled and registered property in both urban and rural areas in Lima that fall under the jurisdiction of the Registro Predial. The study also examines the concepts and legal framework of titling, registration, ownership rights, and possession rights within the Peruvian context.Land titles--Registration and transfer--Peru, Land tenure--Government policy--Peru, Land administration--Peru, Land Economics/Use,
LAND TENANCY IN ASIA, AFRICA, AND LATIN AMERICA: A LOOK AT THE PAST AND A VIEW TO THE FUTURE
This literature review focuses on recent and contemporary tenancy structures in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Tenancy for purposes of this review is broadly defined to include different leasing arrangements such sharecropping, labor tenancy, fixed cash rentals, and reverse leasing. We have limited our discussion to private leasing of agricultural land, thereby ignoring issues pertaining to leasing of public, forest, and other noncrop lands. The purpose of this literature review is to provide a basis for evaluation of the desirability, feasibility, and potential content of regulatory guidelines for lease agreements that might permit the land-lease market to operate effectively. The works discussed herein are both theoretical and empirical. We have attempted to locate the most recent literature on tenancy for Asia, Africa, and Latin America. If contemporary literature is scarce or if historical developments are useful to understanding current tenancy trends, references and inclusion of recent past experiences and dynamics are included. As can be expected, the availability of studies on tenancy in the three regions is quite different.Farm tenancy--Asia, Farm tenancy--Africa, Sub-Saharan, Farm tenancy--Latin America, Farm tenancy--Developing countries--Bibliography, Land tenure--Developing countries, Land Economics/Use,
Fantasizing a Free Black History: Post-Black Arts Movement Novels and Plays Re-Imagining Jim Crow
“Fantasizing a Free Black History: Post-Black Arts Movement Novels and Plays Re-Imagining Jim Crow” closely reads one novel and one play written in the early twenty-first century and set in the Jim Crow period. Analyzing how Toni Morrison’s novel Love (2005) and Lynn Nottage’s drama By the Way, Meet Vera Stark (2011) take up Jim Crow era Black history together, I find that both works intentionally offer incomplete, subjective and fictive narrations of black life during Jim Crow to deny readers a sense of realism. In doing so, these authors represent a group of African American novelists and playwrights that contend with the decades following Black Arts Movement being so temporally removed from Jim Crow in two steps. Firstly, they acknowledge in their partial and obscure narratives that this historical Black experience cannot be fully recovered by treating Jim Crow Black history like a historical site to be discovered with a literary return. Secondly, they demonstrate in their direct appeal to their audiences to co-create the fictions’ narratives with the characters that black history can instead be a praxis of inter-generational, collaborative fiction writing that imagines past Black individuals, making them more transparent in the contemporary moment. These features of narrative and structural address signify that this group of post-Black Arts Movement authors consider Black individuals’ freedom during Jim Crow more accessible by conjecturing how it manifested with their audiences

La implementaciĂłn de la oralidad en el proceso civil peruano y la garantĂa del proceso pre determinado por Ley
Nuestro estudio titulado: “LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE LA ORALIDAD EN EL
PROCESO CIVIL PERUANO Y LA GARANTĂŤA DEL PROCESO PRE
DETERMINADO POR LEY”, busca demostrar que implementar la oralidad en los
procesos civiles en nuestro paĂs no ha sido dada de la mano con la ConstituciĂłn
polĂtica vigente.
Por tal razón es que en esta tesis nos hemos hecho la siguiente pregunta: “¿De
qué manera la implementación de la oralidad en el proceso civil peruano vulnera
la garantĂa del proceso pre determinado por ley, prescrito en el artĂculo 139,
inciso 3, párrafo 2 de la ConstituciĂłn PolĂtica?”, frente a la que nos hemos
formulado la siguiente hipótesis: “La implementación de la oralidad en el proceso
civil peruano vulnera la garantĂa del proceso pre determinado por ley, prescrito
en el artĂculo 139, inciso 3, párrafo 2 de la ConstituciĂłn PolĂtica, ya que las
Resoluciones Administrativas que han servido de vehĂculo para tal
implementación, aparte de tener un rango jerárquicamente inferior a una ley,
diseña un trámite procesal absolutamente distinto al previamente establecido por
el Código Procesal Civil (la ley)”.
Asà mismo nos hemos formulado el siguiente objetivo general: “Demostrar la
manera como la implementaciĂłn de la oralidad en el proceso civil peruano
vulnera la garantĂa Constitucional del proceso pre determinado por ley”. El mismo
que a través de los métodos lógicos, asà como con ayuda de los métodos
jurĂdicos dogmático, hermenĂ©utico nos han permitido concluir, entre otras cosas,
que el implantamiento de la oralidad en los procesos civiles peruanos no ha
respetado la garantĂa constitucional del procedimiento pre determinado por ley.
En tal sentido, si bien la oralidad ha traĂdo algunos beneficios a la recargada
agenda jurisdiccional diaria, lo cierto es que mediante la implementaciĂłn de esta
oralidad se ha trastocado el CĂłdigo Procesal Civil (norma con rango de ley), pues
se ha alterado el trámite o procedimiento que este cuerpo legal establecĂa para
solucionar los conflictos de intereses, conllevando a la vulneraciĂłn de garantĂas
procesales, como la del procedimiento pre establecido por ley, prescrito en el
artĂculo 139.3 de la carta magna peruana.Our study entitled: ""THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ORALITY IN THE PERUVIAN
CIVIL PROCESS AND THE GUARANTEE OF THE PRE-DETERMINED
PROCESS BY LAW"", seeks to demonstrate that implementing orality in civil
processes in our country has not been given hand in hand with the Political
Constitution current.
For this reason, in this thesis we have asked ourselves the following question:
""How does the implementation of orality in the Peruvian civil process violate the
guarantee of the pre-determined process by law, prescribed in article 139,
subsection 3, paragraph 2 of the Political Constitution?”, against which we have
formulated the following hypothesis: “The implementation of orality in the
Peruvian civil process violates the guarantee of the pre-determined process by
law, prescribed in article 139, subsection 3, paragraph 2 of the Political
Constitution, since the Administrative Resolutions that have served as a vehicle
for such implementation, in addition to having a hierarchically lower rank than a
law, design a procedural procedure that is absolutely different from the one
previously established by the Civil Procedure Code (the law) "" .
Likewise, we have formulated the following general objective: ""Demonstrate the
way in which the implementation of orality in the Peruvian civil process violates
the Constitutional guarantee of the process pre-determined by law."" The same
that through logical methods, as well as with the help of dogmatic, hermeneutical
legal methods have allowed us to conclude, among other things, that the
implantation of orality in Peruvian civil processes has not respected the
constitutional guarantee of the preliminary procedure. determined by law. In this
sense, although orality has acquired some benefits to the overloaded daily
jurisdictional agenda, the truth is that through the implementation of this orality,
the Civil Procedure Code (norm with the rank of law) has been disrupted, since
the procedure has been altered. or procedure that this legal body to resolve
conflicts of interest, leading to the violation of procedural guarantees, such as the
procedure pre-established by law, prescribed in article 139.3 of the Peruvian
constitution.Tesi

Efectos de las polĂticas pĂşblicas en las comunidades amazĂłnicas de PerĂş: el caso del bono Juntos en la comunidad asháninka
La investigaciĂłn trata acerca del Programa Nacional de Apoyo Directo a los más Pobres – “Juntos”, un incentivo econĂłmico otorgado por el gobierno peruano a las poblaciones indĂgenas de territorios amazĂłnicos, considerados poblaciones en situaciĂłn de pobreza y pobreza extrema. El objetivo estuvo centrado en las percepciones de los tres protagonistas de este programa social: la poblaciĂłn asháninka beneficiarios de los bonos, los lĂderes amazĂłnicos y los funcionarios del gobierno que gestionan, distribuyen, supervisan y monitorean el otorgamiento del bono monetario sobre los factores que afectan a que esta polĂtica pĂşblica no tenga el impacto deseado en estas comunidades. La metodologĂa empleada fue el enfoque de tipo cualitativo y los mĂ©todos fueron el fenomenolĂłgico y el estudio de caso. La tĂ©cnica principal de recojo de datos fue la entrevista semiestructurada. Una de las conclusiones a que se llegĂł es la siguiente: la distribuciĂłn del bono “Juntos” tiene una doble connotaciĂłn: una social y otra polĂtica. Socialmente este incentivo econĂłmico es una ayuda para paliar momentáneamente los apremios de pobreza que soporta la comunidad asháninka; y, polĂticamente, es una medida de contenciĂłn para apaciguar y disminuir las situaciones de tensiĂłn que podrĂa desbordar en un conflicto social que se mantiene latente histĂłricamente.PerĂş.
