Through six case studies — Ukraine, Zambia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Brazil — the report details the myriad ways by which governments — willingly or under the pressure of financial institutions and Western donor agencies — are putting more land into so-called “productive use” in the name of development.

    Recent debates in social anthropology on land acquisitions highlight the need to go further back in history in order to analyse their impacts on local livelihoods. The debate over the commons in economic and ecological anthropology helps us understand some of today’s dynamics by looking at precolonial common property institutions and the way they were transformed by Western colonization to state property and then, later in the age of neoliberalism, to privatization and open access.

    China's presence in Africa has gained growing attention at an international level in the last two

    decades, especially since the 2007 food crisis, however China's presence in Africa is far from new.

    China can not been perceived as a new international actor, still its reemergence as a world's leading

    economic power needs to be reconsidered. China's presence in Africa has been generating a

    growing misunderstanding at a different level that Debora Brautigam clearly describes in her paper

Concludes that the benefits of market-based land reform have accrued to local elites and outside investors.
