Abstract

The creation and enforcement of policies have been proposed as necessary to protect rural dwellers from dispossession by land grabs. Failing to consider the influence of the micro-politics of the policy implementation phase, these policies are insufficient. Based on an in-depth case study from southern Mozambique of a collision between a green grab and a land grab, this paper describes how two policies were used, first to facilitate a land grab and then to rescind the land concession. At a shifting intersection between politics ‘in the air’ and politics ‘on the ground’, convergence and later divergence among powerful groups shaped the space for policy enactment.

土地掠夺的政策过程:在莫桑比克马辛吉尔的“空中”政治和“地面”政治的界面
制定和执行政策被认为是必要的,以保护农村居民免受土地掠夺的剥夺。由于没有考虑到政策实施阶段微观政治的影响,这些政策是不够的。基于对莫桑比克南部的绿色掠夺和土地掠夺之间冲突的深入案例研究,本文描述了如何使用两项政策,首先是促进土地掠夺,然后是取消土地特许权。在“空中政治”和“地面政治”之间不断变化的交叉点上,强大群体之间的趋同和后来的分歧塑造了政策制定的空间。

期刊介绍: A leading journal in the field of rural politics and development, The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS) provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world. It fosters inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, contested and transformed. JPS pays special attention to questions of ‘agency’ of marginalized groups in agrarian societies, particularly their autonomy and capacity to interpret – and change – their conditions.
