Journal ArticleDOI
Green Grabbing: a new appropriation of nature?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw new theorisation together with cases from African, Asian and Latin American settings, and link critical studies of nature with critical agrarian studies, to ask: To what extent and in what ways do "green grabs" constitute new forms of appropriation of nature? How and when do circulations of green capital become manifest in actual appropriations on the ground, through what political and discursive dynamics? What are the implications for ecologies, landscapes and livelihoods? And who is gaining and who is losing, how are agricultural social relations, rights and authority
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Paradoxes of Participation: Questioning Participatory Approaches to Development

Journal ArticleDOI
Engendering everyday resistance: Gender, patronage and production politics in rural Malaysia
TL;DR: In this article, a gendered analysis of class formation calls for a major rethinking of James Scott's notion of everyday forms of peasant resistance, and how gender meanings shape the struggles on these interconnected sites.
