Abstract

What can we learn from an analysis of the transnational land rush in Africa? And, what may be beyond it? To answer these questions, this chapter starts by examining the context of large-scale land acquisitions in various African countries, including those not written about in this volume. Then, we compare and contrast the various case studies examined in this book by analyzing topics such as leasing and commodity trends, legal regimes, and land tenure systems, as well as the broad range of actors involved in the land rush. Last, we critically interrogate the crises and issues afflicting Africa and discuss whether moving “beyond” the transnational land rush is possible under current circumstances.
