{"product_id":"9781780328973","title":"The Global Land Grab: Beyond the Hype","description":"The last two years have seen a huge amount of academic, policy-making and media interest in the increasingly contentious issue of land grabbing - the large-scale acquisition of land in the global South. It is a phenomenon against which locals seem defenceless, and one about which multilateral organizations, such as the World Bank, as well as civil-society organizations and action NGOs have become increasingly vocal.  This in-depth and empirically diverse volume - taking in case studies from across Africa, Asia and Latin America - takes a step back from the hype to explore a number of key questions: Does the ‘global land grab’ actually exist? If so, what is new about it? And what, beyond the immediately visible dynamics and practices, are the real problems?  A comprehensive and much-needed intervention on one of the most hotly contested but little-understood issues facing countries of the South today.","brand":"Zed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182532215024,"sku":"9781780328973","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780328973_p0.jpg?v=1763711726","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780328973","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
