  4. 12. Thirsting for Credible Commitments. How Secure Land Tenure Affects Access to Drinking Water in sub-Saharan Africa

    Author : Martin Sjöstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; property rights; land tenure; water; credible commitments; history of play; tying the grabbing hand; sub-Saharan Africa; institutions;
