    Construction of various project components
    to extract, process, and export the Shwe
    gas - as well as oil trans-shipments from
    Africa and the Middle East - is now well
    underway. Local peoples are losing their land
    and fishing grounds without finding new job
    opportunities. Workers that have found lowpaying
    temporary jobs are exploited and fired for
    demanding basic rights. Women face unequal
    wages, discrimination in the compensation
    process, and vulnerabilities in the growing sex
    industry around the project.

    Myanmar, South-Eastern Asia

    This chapter aims to overcome the gap existing between case study research, which typically provides qualitative and process based insights, and national or global inventories that typically offer spatially explicit and quantitative analysis of broader patterns, and thus to present adequate evidence for policymaking regarding largescale land acquisitions. Therefore, the chapter links spatial patterns of land acquisitions to underlying implementation processes of land allocation.

    The SHWE Gas Movement is concerned with a natural gas pipeline project presently unfolding in Western Burma...
