Dear Sir

The developing block, I suppose, as whole do not have a common approach towards land consolidation. They, actually, lack any consistency also. However, around the globe, at present, you can find one very strange fact which fairly resembles the Colonial possessions as well the features of the British 'enclosures'. It is manifested in the 'land grab' and the rush for natural resource control in the poor nations by the rich ones- their states as well as their corporates. Even the developing nations themselves are taking part in the exercise. For instance, India has possessed around 6o million hectare land in other developing nations. China too has accumulated foreign lands. Saudi Arabia also...

As far as land administration is concerned, take the case of India for example where there is a great need for renewed land reforms and for the Torrential system of land records. The nation has forgotten the alphabet of land reforms and there is no actual land reform save either in the media or the introduction of IT tools for record keeping. You can guess the severity of the problem by having a look on the revenue suits languishing in India's judicial courts and quasi-judicial chambers. Earlier these land cases were the curse of rural India. Now they are prevalent everywhere. Nay, they are more prevalent in the areas of urban sprawls and real estate business. The land grab has emerged as the hub of new richness for our politicians, our bureaucracy, and our rich ones. Recall Robert Wadra, for one! Count the land possessions of IAS officers across the country, if you can!

Another feature of India's land administration strongly rests upon the rhetoric of land acquisition for every and any purpose provided it has potential for money minting.

I would like to recall my experience relating to the issue. In a refresher course at a state capital centre when I did ask a professor, who has been and is one of the World Bank project doers, the very simple thing that "Sir, what should one mean by land reforms, now?" He answered very carelessly "availability of land for business and corporates!" with no mention of agrarian economy.

Now, I am sorry, you can guess the way India as a developing world's leader is heading regarding land reforms and administration. How much for the rest of developing nations!

Thanks and sorry for any excesses.

FAO has fair analysis on  approaches to land consolidation. The following cite is added to your benefit

But land consolidation is still unfinished agenda in many developing countries despite the fact that participatory approach is initiated. Involvement of local level political institution, women participation,  CSO intervention, etc are often looked as new methods of consolidation. Awareness and local level  conflict resolving mechanism are key elements of land consolidation. 

With reference to preceding answers, please appreciate that 'enclosure' in not only recorded in Britain, but was universal across Europe. Enclosure has been initiated bottom-up (land owners) and top-down (government). Enclosure (partition would be the clearer terminology in this context) of commons (communal land) may, or may not include (arable) land consolidation. In my German village, a gap of 100-150 years exists between partition (nineteenth century) and consolidation (twentieth century). Similarly, in the adjacent regions across the national border.

Farmland consolidation is also an unfinished business in Europe.
