Book excerpt: It is often argued that land registration is the answer to insecurity of real estate ownership in sub-Saharan Africa. This argument is based on the presumption that there is ownership security in the advanced world because every real estate is registered. However, a lot of studies conducted in the developing world have established that ownership security cannot be assured via land registration. This book critically analyses the theoretical principles that underpin land registration systems in order to provide more insights as to why land registration cannot guarantee ownership security. It also examines the nexus between security of ownership and investment.
