Gouvernance foncière

La Revue des questions foncières est un outil de diffusion d’informations de qualité et d’opinions diversifiées sur le foncier et les ressources naturelles. Elle a pour ambition d’être une publication de pointe sur les questions relatives aux régimes fonciers,aux politiques foncières et à la réforme agraire. Les premiers bénéficiaires de la revue sont les administrateurs des terres et les professionnels du foncier, mais elle est également ouverte à des contributions universitaires et à des analyses théoriques pertinentes.
