Marginal Lands or Marginal People? Analysing Key Processes Determining the Outcomes of LargeScale Land Acquisitions in Lao PDR and Cambodia
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.
