Reviews
'The book will be useful for all those interested in economic development in PNG. Lea and Curtin highlight the pitfalls and challenges along the way towards more secure title to land. The examples they cite of good and bad land reform in a wide range of countries point to the need for caution in changing land leasing arrangements in PNG without a thorough analysis of the implications. Their book could not be more timely.' - Bill Bowen, Economic Consultant.
