This yearbook chapter discusses the link between international investment law and commercial pressures on the world’s natural resources. It argues that changes in legal frameworks are redefining control over natural resources, and facilitating transitions toward more commercialised land relations.

If not properly thought through, international treaties to protect foreign investment could compound shortcomings of local and national governance.

Using household- and plot-level data from Ghana, analyzes the main factors associated with farmers’ perceived tenure security.

Migrant households and women in polygamous households feel less secure about their tenure, while farmers with political connections are more confident about their tenure security.
