TBC: "The land above, within, and below": institutional
complexity and forms of attachment to land in the Amazon
The last two decades has witnessed a myriad of new types of
property systems and institutional arrangements related to common pool
resources including indigenous and conservation territories, carbon storage
contracts such as REDD+, and concessions of land and resource use to expanding
agropastoral and mining industries. Using examples from the Brazilian Amazon,
we show how these processes are leading to a complex social-territorial matrix
whereas land and common pool resources represent at the same time symbols of
local cultural identity and territorial rights, global agendas of conservation
and climate change mitigation, and the economic frontier of global resource
chains.
We hope to see you Friday!
