'Land grabbing' and international investment law: toward a global reconfiguration of property?
This yearbook chapter discusses the link between international investment law and commercial pressures on the world’s natural resources.

This chapter is a case study that tests hypotheses in order to determine if political factors can reduce violence in cases of climate-change-induced or -aggravated agro-pastoral conflicts over natural resources.
