This volume provides up-to-date information on what has happened in the African ‘land rush’, providing national case studies for countries that were heavily impacted.  The research will be a critical resource for students, researchers, advocates and policy makers as it provides detailed, long-term assessments of a broad range of national contexts. In addition to the specific questions of land and investment, this book sheds light on the broader international political economy of development in different African countries.
