  abstract = {{T}he formalisation of local or customary land rights is often seen as a means of tackling insecurity of land tenure and encouraging investment. {S}everal tools, such as the {R}ural {L}and {P}lans ({PFR}s) used in {B}enin, seem to resolve the tension between the logic of registering rights in order to increase productivity and the logic of securing complex local rights and reducing conflict. {B}ut while {PFR}s are potentially a good tool for dealing with complexity, current policy debate in {B}enin tends to focus on them as a tool for privatisation. {B}ut given the diversity of local situations and complexity of land rights, a single model of private property will inevitably engender exclusion and conflict, for questionable economic benefits. {W}e can think that what is needed is a pluralist vision, and rights registration procedures that build sustainable links between diverse and evolving local modes of land regulation, on the one hand, and a pluralist legal framework on the other.},
