The last two years have seen a huge amount of academic,
policy-making and media interest in the increasingly contentious
issue of land grabbing - the large-scale acquisition of land in the
global South. It is a phenomenon against which locals seem
defenceless, and one about which multilateral organizations, such
as the World Bank, as well as civil-society organizations and
action NGOs have become increasingly vocal. This in-depth and
empirically diverse volume - taking in case studies from across
Africa, Asia and Latin America - takes a step back from the hype to
explore a number of key questions: Does the 'global land grab'
actually exist? If so, what is new about it? And what, beyond the
immediately visible dynamics and practices, are the real problems?
A comprehensive and much-needed intervention on one of the most
hotly contested but little-understood issues facing countries of
the South today.
