The Land Deal Politics Initiative
 |
The phrase ‘global
land grab’ has become a catch-all phrase to describe and analyze the
current explosion of (trans) national commercial land transactions.
Around the world, various state, corporate and civil society groups
have reacted, albeit in different ways. Some see this as a major threat
to the lives and livelihoods of the rural poor worldwide, and so
opposes such commercial land deals. Others see economic opportunity for
the rural poor, although they are wary of corruption and negative
consequences, and so calls for the improving land market governance
feature prominently. And, of course, between these two extremes for and
against large scale land purchases/sales are a range of intermediate
positions offered by other groups. |
