Land grabbing: Perspectives from East and Southeast Asia



An international academic conference, 5-6 June 2015, Chiang Mai University

Land grabbing, conflict and agrarian-environmental transformations: perspectives from East and Southeast Asia

Globally, powerful transnational actors are tapping into lands outside their own borders to provide sufficient food and energy security at home. The original North-South dynamic to this 'global land grab' is developing into a North-South-South dynamic with economically powerful non-Northern countries now getting involved.

This phrase - 'global land grab' - has become a catch-all to describe and analyse this explosion in transnational commercial land transactions. The reaction to this trend by state, corporate and civil society groups has been varied, moving between the extremes of seeing it as a major threat to the lives and livelihoods of rural people, to seeing it as an economic opportunity for the rural poor worldwide.

LDPI aims to provide in-depth and systematic enquiry into the global land grab in order to have deeper, meaningful and productive debates around causes and implications.

FSM 2015: Espace de convergence des luttes pour la terre et l'eau



Nous, les mouvements sociaux et leurs alliés, nous nous sommes réuni(e)s dans le cadre du Forum Social Africain en octobre 2014 à Dakar, avec l’objectif d’unir toutes les luttes pour l’eau et la terre, et contre la criminalisation des militant(e)s engagé(e)s dans ceux-ci. Nous avons élaboré une déclaration, intitulée « Droits à l'eau, à la terre, une lutte commune ».

Cette déclaration a été rédigée dans l’esprit de la solidarité et de rassemblement et vise à être le point de départ pour le développement d’une Convergence globale des luttes pour l’eau et la terre. Nous, les organisations qui promouvons cette Déclaration, vous invitons à se joindre à notre espace de convergence au Forum Mondial Social à Tunis.

Nous organisons des sessions commmunes pendant la matinée du 25, 26 et 27 de mars ainsi qu’une assemblée de la convergence le 28 mars afin d’échanger des expériences de luttes pour l’eau et la terre aux niveaux national et international, et afin de construire ensemble l’avenir de cette Convergence globale.

Il y aura aussi une série d’ateliers au cours de ces jours qui concernent, eux aussi, des luttes pour l’eau et la terre et qui veulent s’associer à notre espace de convergence.

COORDINATEURS: La Via Campesina, Forum Mondial des Populations des Pêcheurs, Convergence Malienne contre l’Accaparement des Terres, GRAIN, COSPE, Comitato Italiano Contratto Mondiale sull'acqua, Transnational Institute, Habitat International Coalition, Terra Nuova, Les Amis de la Terre International, FIAN International
