This article analyses the historical development and contemporary problems of land regulation in the Republic of Guinea. It examines institutional changes in the field of land relations from the pre-colonial period to recent reforms. The study reveals the persistence of unregulated legal pluralism, a structural gap between formal norms and actual practice, as well as political and economic aspects related to control over access to land. The results show that the relative ineffectiveness of Guinean land regulation cannot be explained solely by technical and administrative shortcomings, but is the result of institutional compromises and historically established power relations. In conclusion, the normative implications of these findings for land resource management are discussed.
