Call for Papers – Land Ownership and Tenure

uwlegalscholarship — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:43:57 +0000

Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts is seeking submissions for its March 2012 issue, Land Ownership and Tenure. The deadline for submissions has been extended to Nov. 1, 2011.

UN-Habitat, The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, concluded that more than one billion people live without any security of tenure in informal settlements in “developing” countries. If “land is not just a resource to be exploited, but a crucial vehicle for the achievement of improved socioeconomic, biological, and physical environments” (FAO), then access to land ensures the security and health of the poor. The politics of access to and exploitation of land and natural resources assume fundamental relations of power control and the policy of social inclusion; however, both notions imply and consolidate that access to land and land ownership, particularly in the Global South, reflect broader patterns of intra-institutional dynamics that explain how marginality and socio-political exclusion take place within countries and on the global stage.
