“…During the process of rapid urbanization and industrialization, urban-rural integrated development has become an important socioeconomic phenomenon around the world [3][4][5]. Against this backdrop, the demands of economic development have led most developing countries into unhealthy and inefficient patterns of land acquisition in order to attract private investment [6]. For developing countries, the rational use of land acquisition powers to provide land resources for urbanisation on the basis of economic growth and the promotion of human settlements is one of the most important challenges in terms of land management [7].…”

In the context of China’s new round of land reform, narrowing the scope of land expropriation, standardising the procedures for land expropriation, and building a unified urban and rural construction land market have become the objectives of land expropriation reform. The new Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China confirms land expropriation for tract development as a new situation for the land acquisition system. However, in the process of implementing the system, the new land acquisition mode is plagued by the dual dilemma of the falsification of public interests and the lack of a mechanism to realise public interests, which leads to the real risk of misconduct in standards. The concept of the coordination of interests and co-operative governance in “Good Land Governance” is a sure way to overcome this structural risk. The article analyses the causes through the lens of “Good Land Governance” and concludes that the risk of failure of the standards can be addressed through the binary public good remedy: On the one hand, from the perspective of coordination of interests, drawing on the principle of proportionality, the system can be built by improving the way of purposeful examination, so as to achieve the effect of preventing the risk of deflating and generalising public interests in order to achieve the effect of realising and reinforcing public interests. On the other hand, from the perspective of synergistic shared governance and drawing on the logic of land justice, institutional insight can be built by way of establishing a pattern of shared public interest, thus achieving the effect of preventing the risk of public interest erosion in order to achieve the effect of shared public interest replenishment.

“…Patil and Ghosh (2017) use data from the rehabilitation program in the Upper Krishna Project, India, to support their theory. This issue has been further illustrated by Shee and Maiti (2019), who, drawing on data from JSW steel project in West Bengal, India, show that most land selling farmers spent the compensation money for unproductive purposes. For most families total monthly income fell by 50%: only a handful of families were able to generate substantial non-farm income.…”

Land Acquisition, Markets and Political Networks: Evidence from the Indian Sundarbans

In recent times, land acquisitions in India for both public and private projects are facing stiff political resistance. Existing studies on land acquisition mostly focus on optimal compensation that would secure the consent of land owners. In this article, we argue that besides compensation, membership in different types of networks such as political parties and self-help groups might influence landowner consent. This could occur either because of pro-social concerns or access to better investment opportunities for the compensation amount. Using survey data from flood prone Indian Sundarbans, where the government sought to acquire land to construct embankments, we find evidence supportive of our hypothesis. The survey elicited reservation price response from land owners for a hypothetical land acquisition program. Our estimates show that land owners with self-help group members are more likely to have a higher ask price for agreeing to land sales. In contrast, controlling for length of party association, members of political networks are more likely to sell their land and have a lower reservation price than their non-political counterparts. Our results suggest that, rather than only increasing the compensation package, which is a stock of wealth, it is equally important to enhance the flow of income to ensure consensual land sales.
