This webinar hosts a panel discussion taking its point of departure in the understanding
that the issues that have most preoccupied the LARRI research network in recent years
seem to have fallen down the research agenda. This includes large-scale land acquisitions
and their implications for local land rights as well as debates between individualized land
titling programmes and the alternatives presented by e.g., community titling. Meanwhile,
other topics have become more prominent on the research agenda, such as the
consequences for land rights of programmes aimed at either climate change mitigation or
environmental conservation. To discuss this apparent change in research focus we will be
joined by three prominent scholars in the field: Caroline Delgado from SIPRI, focused on
South America, Colombia in particular; Richard de Satgé from the South African land sector
NGO Phuhlisani NPC with a focus on Southern Africa; and Christian Lund from the
University of Copenhagen, with a focus on Southeast Asia, primarily Laos and Indonesia.
