The tenure reform policy model in operation in South Asia has generally failed to achieve its modest aims and has often led to net deterioration in the life chances of the class it claims to protect and rehabilitate. The causes for failure include the distribution of political power, as is frequently recognized, but as importantly include the nature of production relations, the social matrix within which production relations are embedded, and the consequent ideational and material multiplex dependency of direct producers, as well as certain structural features of the liberal state. The policy logic of tenure reform depends on assumptions about the rural world and about the relationship between state and society at the local level which are systematically inaccurate for frequently-encountered agrarian configurations, making an independent contribution to policy failure. Empirical evidence from the subcontinental region indicates that there exist specifiable structural conditions under which the acquiescence of tenants in illegal tenurial relations is a rational, and widespread, response to tenure reform. |
