Global Perspectives on Land-Grabbing
View through CrossRef
While situating and contextualizing land-grabbing in Kashmir within the global land-grabbing debate, this chapter provides a detailed and critical account of the dominant assumptions about the current wave of land-grabbing—its features, impacts, and narratives. Existing literature on land-grabs lays emphasis on the quantification of land-grabs, and pays attention to the land-grabs in a special region—Africa. Moreover, it tells us about the role of different actors, especially the State, corporates, and other power houses—including institutions and elite in the land deals. However, most of this literatures fails to establish the link between the political structure and resistance. This chapter discusses these inter-linkages and the land- and water-grabbing literature in India.
