Land Grabs in Asia (eBook, PDF)

What Role for the Law?
Redaktion: Carter, Connie; Harding, Andrew

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This thought-provoking book defines land grabbing, and examines aspects of the land grabs phenomenon in seven Asian countries. It provides unique perspectives on how and why land grabbing is practised in China, India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Indonesia, and explores the surprising role that law plays in facilitating and legitimizing land grabs in each country. Finding that Asian States need to move beyond existing regimes that govern land to a regime that encourages more equitable land rights allocation and protection of stakeholders' rights, the book urges further research in the nexus between the use of law to facilitate development.

This book was facilitated by grant No. R-241-000-116-112 (Ministry of Education, Singapore, and NUS Academic Research Fund).
