El caso de comunidades migrantes que se establecen en tierras baldías y luego, el Estado construye una represa que inunda sus tierras, y los desplaza, afectando su vida, y obligándolos a años de lucha demandando una justa indemnización y la dotación de nuevas tierras.
...When an estimated 50,000 ethnic Kokang civilians poured into southwest China last month to escape fighting between the Myanmar Army and Kokang rebels, Beijing called for peace and provided food, medical supplies and camps for the refugees. But China’s stance as a benevolent mediator in Myanmar’s many internal conflicts and its treatment of asylum seekers is far less altruistic than Beijing cares to admit.

Over the last three weeks, fighting has broken out in Myanmar’s northeast between the military and several ethnic minority militias, including the ethnic Kokang Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and, allegedly, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). The KIA is one of the most powerful insurgent groups in Myanmar. At least 30,000 civilians have fled across the border into China, and the fighting has killed at least 130 people. The Myanmar military has attacked rebel groups with air strikes, and the fighting shows no sign of letting up.
The crisis that engulfed the Central African Republic (CAR) in the end of 2012 resulted in the perpetration of gross human rights violations, including the widespread looting and destruction of homes. As people fled the violence they left behind land which others occupied illegally. More than a year after the height of the crisis, approximately 440,000 Central Africans continue to be internally displaced. Almost half a million are refugees in neighbouring countries.
Los conflictos de tierras en comunidades aimara, a pesar de ser numerosos, han sido poco estudiados. Este artículo se adentra en el examen de las contradicciones por dominios de tierras entre las comunidades de Chulluncane y Villablanca del altiplano de Tarapacá. Analiza la dimensión simbólica y material de las disputas territoriales, el carácter histórico de las desavenencias y los aportes de geógrafos y otros cientistas para comprenderlos.
O texto aborda a dinâmica dos conflitos fundiários no Estado do Amapá. O trabalho resgata a gênese desse processo, apresentado pela política e pela mídia como uma relação pacífica no campo. Na realidade, contudo, o Amapá constitui um dos estados da Federação com significativas incidências de disputas por terra. Para a realização da pesquisa foram coletados dados, especialmente, da Comissão Pastoral da Terra, por meio dos seus registros anuais (Conflitos no Campo); mas também foram realizados levantamentos sobre a dinâmica do campesinato e sua recriação no Amapá.
Os processos sociais que são objeto das análises dos capítulos que compõem este livro, embora carregados de particularidades próprias, uma vez que tratam de diferentes contextos sócio espaciais e temporais, são atravessados por algumas similitudes e pontos em comum. Nestes termos, o livro busca ser uma contribuição na perspectiva da constituição de saberes e reflexões sobre o universo rural em suas diferentes facetas.
In peace-building and transitional justice literature economic restoration is considered central to sustainable peace in post-conflict societies. However, it is also widely recognised that many post-conflict states cannot afford mechanisms to provide restoration. Not only are many such states poor to begin with, but violent conflict further degrades their economic capacity. As a result, in their need to provide jobs, generate tax revenues, spur development and promote sustainable peace, many post-conflict states turn to alternative processes of economic restoration.
Land is a key driver of conflicts and is a bottleneck to recovery. Although increasingly acknowledged as a critical factor in peace-making and peacebuilding, land-related issues are often linked to the development agenda but are not properly addressed in post-conflict and peacebuilding. Neither are they inserted in the conflict cycle analysis. Conflicts are often not linear in character and phases of insecurity and partial stability can alternate.
This study was undertaken to analyze farmers’ adaption to water scarcity in the command area of a secondary canal in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The results revealed that farmers’ responses were driven by a multiplicity of factors, beyond water scarcity or profit maximization. These additional factors include food security of the family, risk management, social capital and history of farmers, and most unexpectedly the collective dimension of crop choice.
