“…In contrast to the 'development in reverse' dictum, a number of critical scholars posit that the upshot of violence in Colombia's conflict has often been economic development under a capitalist logic (e.g., see Escobar 2004aEscobar , 2004bColeman 2007;Grajales 2011;Thomson 2011). …”

“…in the cases of Burma, Guatemala, and Laos here), allocate land and resource rights, frequently in intimate collaboration with companies, international organizations, and transnational NGOs -all of whom want a part of the global terrestrial pie (Lund 2011, Woods 2011, Ybarra 2011, all this collection). However, many of these new actors are concurrently beneficiaries of more or less illicit transactions involving land concessions on not-so-empty land, timber trading of not-so-legally acquired logs, fulfillment of carbon sequestration quotas from deals with those who did not have the land rights nor would they bear the opportunity costs (Grajales 2011, Osborne 2011Lohmann 2006). Elites who control legislative, regulatory, and armed branches of the government apparatus can engineer oppressive land control, and they are by no means only part of 'history'.…”

Land questions have invigorated agrarian studies and economic history, with particular emphases on its control, since Marx. Words such as 'exclusion', 'alienation', 'expropriation', 'dispossession', and 'violence' describe processes that animate land histories and those of resources, property rights, and territories created, extracted, produced, or protected on land. Primitive and on-going forms of accumulation, frontiers, enclosures, territories, grabs, and racializations have all been associated with mechanisms for land control. Agrarian environments have been transformed by processes of de-agrarianization, protected area establishment, urbanization, migration, land reform, resettlement, and repeasantization. Even the classic agrarian question of how agriculture is influenced by capitalism has been reformulated multiple times at transformative conjunctures in the historical trajectories of these processes, reviving and producing new debates around the importance of land control.The authors in this collection focus primarily on new frontiers of land control and their active creation. These frontiers are sites where authorities, sovereignties, rights, and hegemonies of the recent past have been challenged by new enclosures, property regimes, and territorializations, producing new 'urban-agrarian-natured' environments, comprised of new labor and production processes; new actors, subjects, and networks connecting them; and new legal and violent means of challenging previous land controls. Some cases augment analytic tools that had seemed to have timeless applicability with new frameworks, concepts, and theoretical tools.What difference does land control make? These contributions to the debates demonstrate that the answers have been shaped by conflicts, contexts, histories, and agency, as land has been struggled over for livelihoods, revenue production, and power.

“…De la misma forma, el caso de Colombia resulta interesante pues aquí se han observado numerosos casos en donde el uso de violencia explícita ha resultado fundamental para desplazar campesinos y comunidades locales de tierras atractivas para el cultivo de palma aceitera (Grajales 2011).…”

ResumenCada vez son más los estudios en la literatura que analizan el fenómeno de la adquisición de tierraspor parte de extranjeros para el caso latinoamericano, región donde parecería ser más evidente ladisputa territorial entre las potencias por el control de los recursos naturales a nivel mundial. En estetrabajo nos proponemos analizar quiénes son los principales actores extranjeros que comenzaron aadquirir tierras en Argentina a partir del 2002 y para qué lo están haciendo. La importancia de estaspreguntas radica en reflexionar en torno al rol que un país como Argentina está jugando dentro delcapitalismo mundial como proveedora de recursos naturales y como espacio geográfico de aperturade nuevas oportunidades donde valorizar el capital de los países centrales.Palabras claves: Acaparamiento de tierras, Inversores extranjeros, Argentina, China, Recursos naturales.
