Land
Deal Politics Initiative
SMALL GRANT COMPETITION - Call for Applicants
The ‘Land Deal Politics
Initiative’ (LDPI) is initially a joint effort of Initiatives in Critical
Agrarian Studies (ICAS) at Saint Mary’s University in Canada (Saturnino ‘Jun’
Borras Jr. – the LDPI international secretariat) , the Future Agricultures
Consortium at the Institute for Development Studies (IDS), University of
Sussex (Ian Scoones), PLAAS at the University of the Western Cape (Ruth
Hall), Resource, Environment and Livelihoods (RELIVE) at the International
Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in the Netherlands (Ben White) and the
Polson Institute for Global Development at Cornell University (Wendy
Wolford).
A convergence of factors has been driving a revaluation of land by powerful
economic and political actors. This is occurring across the world, but
especially in the global South. As a result, we are seeing a dramatic rise in
the extent of cross-border, transnational corporation- driven and, in some
cases foreign government-driven, large-scale land deals unfolding worldwide.
The phrase ‘global land grab’ has become a catch-all phrase to describe this
explosion of (trans)national commercial land transactions revolving around
the production and sale of food and biofuels, conservation and mining
activities.
We are currently running a SMALL GRANT competition aimed at doctoral or
post-doctoral researchers.
