Description

Land is a fundamental resource that underpins almost all human activity, yet its complex relationships with us are often difficult to grasp. This thought-provoking book offers a new framework for understanding the geopolitics of land in the 21st century.

The author, Derek Hall, argues that struggles over land can be understood through three key principles: its role as territory, its status as property, and the ways in which its use is regulated. The book explores these themes through a range of cases, including inter-state wars, non-governmental organization efforts to protect property rights, and corporate attempts at 'land grabs'.

By examining these dimensions of land politics, Hall provides a richly detailed guide that will be of interest to students of the social sciences as well as anyone following current affairs and contemporary geopolitics.
