Près de 2,5 milliards de personnes dépendent de terres autochtones et communautaires représentant plus de la moitié des terres de la planète ; elles n'en détiennent pourtant légalement qu'un cinquième. Les cinq milliards d'hectares restants ne sont pas protégés et sont donc exposés à l'accaparement des terres par des entités plus puissantes, telles que les États et les grandes entreprises.

This paper sets out how one crop – sugar – has been driving large- scale land acquisitions and land conflicts at the expense of small-scale food producers and their families. At least 4m hectares of land have been acquired for sugar production in 100 large-scale land deals since 2000, although given the lack of transparency around such deals, the area is likely to be much greater. In some cases, these acquisitions have been linked to human rights violations, loss of livelihoods, and hunger for small-scale food producers and their families.

Este trabajo estudia el fenómeno de captura política. Se intenta explicar qué factores determinan la captura política en un gobierno y qué mecanismos concretos se combinan en un determinado momento para permitir que las corporaciones, en particular las extractivas, tengan influencia desmedida sobre determinadas ramas del aparato burocrático, al punto de producir una ley que las beneficia y, al mismo tiempo, va en desmedro de las instituciones públicas y grupos sociales vulnerables.

A new era of the global land rush
Reports & ResearchSeptember, 2016Australia, Global, Honduras, India, Mozambique, Peru, Sri LankaSince 2009, Oxfam and others have been raising the alarm about a great global land rush.
