Cause and consequence in law and developmentI first raised the ideas contained in this paper at a ‘History and Politics of Africa’ seminar at Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford in May 2003. My thanks to Gavin Williams, Robin Palmer and other participants on that occasion for a thought-provoking discussion. Thanks also to John Harrington for discussing this paper with me.

Patrick McAuslan, Bringing the Law Back In: essays in land, law and development (Aldershot: Ashgate. 2003)The title of the book sums up my overall stance: there is an important role for law in development generally and in land reform in particular and it is, in my view, wholly beneficial that after almost three decades of virtually ignoring the role of law in development … international financial institutions, aid agencies and scholars in the West are beginning to appreciate and reaffirm both its centrality to development in practice and its centrality to understanding the process of development and change in societies in developing countries. (McAuslan 2003: vii)He who is able to translate othersʼ interests into his own language carries the day. (Latour 1983: 144)
