| Summary/Abstract |
The lack of historical perspective in many studies of land grabbing leads researchers to ignore or underestimate the extent to which pre-existing social relations shape rural spaces in which contemporary land deals occur. Bringing history back in to land grabbing research is essential for understanding antecedents, establishing baselines to measure impacts and restoring the agency of contending agrarian social classes. In Central America each of several cycles of land grabbing-liberal reforms, banana concessions and agrarian counter-reform-has profoundly shaped the period that succeeded it. In the Bajo Aguán region of Honduras-a centre of agrarian reform and then counter-reform-violent conflicts over land have been materially shaped by both peasant, landowner and state repertoires of contention and repression, as well as by peasants' memories of dispossession.

| Summary/Abstract |
The origin of the Noxal problem is attributable to sociopolitical and socio-economic repression. The poor and Scheduled Castes (SC) were downtrodden by the Zamindars. Land reforms were nowhere. Forest land was shrinking. Added to that there was no development, in tact, governance was sorely lacking. At tirst, the states sought to control the problem through the state police torces. Most of the police were in a poor state. Numbers, inlrastructure, weapons were minimal. They were swiltly rendered inetlective ond the Pora Military Forces (PMF) were called in. Additionally, the movement became more coordinated and stretched across state boundaries.

| Summary/Abstract |
At the Third Plenary of the 18th Chinese Communist Party Central Committee, the Party announced a number of rural reforms. Commentators were quick to pronounce a win for farmers’ land rights. However, the broader commitment of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to deepening economic liberalization raises the question: can these reforms protect farmers’ rights in the event of land acquisition? The author draws on fieldwork, recent interviews and China’s documented history of land acquisition practice to identify four risks posed by these reforms: undervaluation, elite capture, exploitation and the expansion of the urban underclass. The article concludes that China’s steadfast resolve to expand capitalism in rural China is undermining its attempts to secure rural property rights.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recent global policy attention to "land grabs" by international investors while very important, has diverted attention away from two other process that may be even more fundamentally affecting Africa's economic development trajectory: (1') the pace of land acquisitions by medium-scale African investors, who non-' control more land than large scale foreign investors in each of the three countries examine in this study (Ghana Kenya, and Zambia); and (ii) the overall impact of land transections on the viability of African governments' agricultural strategies, which for the most part remain predicated on smallholder led development and will require the expansion of cropland by smallholder household in Zambia and Ghana

| Summary/Abstract |
A study of land reform illuminates the paradox of economic instruments in counter-insurgency. Where redistributive demands are at the core of a rebellion, foreign powers will find it difficult to respond effectively. Recent years have seen the United States and its allies embroiled in major counter-insurgency campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, and lesser operations in such countries as Yemen and Somalia. These battles against local insurgencies are only the latest in a string of such conflicts that have erupted in nearly every developing region since the end of the Second World War. Sharply debated at home and abroad, they raise the fundamental question of what the counter-insurgents can reasonably hope to achieve in violent settings, even when they deploy an array of military, political and economic instruments. What are the 'moving parts' that foreign powers can manipulate in their efforts to force or encourage violence-reducing reforms in these societies?

| Summary/Abstract |
While widowhood in India is synonymous to destitution – economically and symbolically – the right of widows as primary heirs with equal property rights as men owes its advent to both colonial and postcolonial lawmaking. Feminist discourses have since found these laws lacking both in gender neutral conceptualisations, as well as fruitful implementation. Within the present market-driven economy where land is a primary productive resource, the idea of a widow as a legal actor to claim property is an anathema, especially in a rural, agrarian setting. Rarely, she becomes the individual who must address the law, given her identity is subsumed under the rubric of family and work, and imbued with the circumstance of ‘have-nots’ facing difficulty in ‘coming out ahead in litigation’ against their superiors. Even as ‘a field of one’s own’ promises sustainable livelihood, status and increased bargaining power for women, can the widow successfully activate the legal system and gain land as property? I will engage with this paradox from the viewpoint of the Bengali Hindu widow; taking into account parallel developments in the fate of widows in other South Asian countries, where widowhood acquires similar social meanings due to shared gendered norms. The aim is to compare, contrast and analyse the specificity that post-colonial law making in India, especially Bengal, has brought about in the widows’ position in the society.

| Summary/Abstract |
On September 9, 1973, I was eating lunch at Da Carla, an Italian restaurant in Santiago, Chile, when a colleague joined my table and whispered in my ear: "Call home immediately; it's urgent." At the time, I was serving as a clandestine CIA officer. Chile was my first overseas assignment, and for an eager young spymaster, it was a plum job. Rumors of a military coup against the socialist Chilean president, Salvador Allende, had been swirling for months. There had already been one attempt. Allende's opponents were taking to the streets. Labor strikes and economic disarray made basic necessities difficult to find. Occasionally, bombs rocked the capital. The whole country seemed exhausted and tense. In other words, it was exactly the kind of place that every newly minted CIA operative wants to be.
