    Cambodia’s Unofficial Regime of Extraction: Illicit Logging in the Shadow of Transnational Governanc
    Publication évaluée par des pairs
    mai, 2015
    Cambodge

    Cambodia has recently demonstrated one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world. While scholars have long explored the drivers of tropical forest loss, the case of Cambodia offers particular insights into the role of the state where transnational governance and regional integration are increasingly the norm. Given the significant role logging rents play in Cambodia’s post-conflict state formation, this article explores the contemporary regime and its ongoing codependent relationship with forested land.

    Large-scale land acquisitions often take place in developing countries which are also known for their corruption-friendliness caused by weak institutional frameworks. We hypothesize that corruption indeed leads to more land deals. We argue that corrupt elites exploit poor institutional setups (characterized by corruption) to strike deals with domestic and international investors at the expense of the local population. Using panel data for 156 countries from 2000-2011, we provide evidence that large-scale land deals indeed occur more often in countries with higher levels of corruption.

    Public lands accounted for 80% of the country area until a decade ago. As Cambodia emerged from three decades of civil war and internal strife, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has granted more than 10% of the country area or 50% of the cultivatable land as large scale “Economic Land Concessions” (ELCs) to private companies, mostly foreign owned, in a mostly rigged process. Land disputes have become a permanent fixture in the press and a hot issue on human rights reports.

    Amérique du Sud, Brésil

    Brazil has the fifth-largest national land area in the world and this land resource represents a critical asset for the country’s urban, agricultural, and economic development, also providing essential environmental services. Nevertheless, it has a historical lack of governance over its lands, failing to provide secure land rights and to control the extensive frauds resulting in public and private land grabs. The objective of this study is to depict evidence of these land grabs and propose a typology for analyzing them.

    Bangladesh

    The land administration system in Bangladesh is not well-developed. It is beset with multiple defects and problems. It is corrupt, inefficient, and unreliable and inherently contains systematic weaknesses. Corruption has become a grave issue in this sector. A World Bank survey reveals that most crimes and corruptions in Bangladesh take place in land-related services. It has estimated that more than 3.2 million land-related cases are pending before the judiciary. A large number of the aggrieved persons is not empowered enough to approach the courts for litigation.

    Chine, Asie orientale, Océanie

    As part of a national experiment in 2008, Chengdu prefecture implemented ambitious property rights reforms, including complete registration of all land together with measures to ease transferability and eliminate migration restrictions. A triple difference approach using the Statistics Bureau’s regular household panel suggests that the reforms increased consumption and income, especially for less wealthy and less educated households, with estimated benefits well above the cost of implementation.

    Kenya

    In the recent past, high profile cases involving land governance problems have been thrust into the public domain. These include the case involving the grabbing of a playground belonging to Lang’ata Road Primary School in Nairobi and the tussle over a 134 acre piece of land in Karen. Land ownership and use have been a great source of conflict among communities and even families in Kenya, a situation exacerbated by corruption.

    Îles Salomon

    Justice interventions in Solomon Islands
    over the last decade have focused largely on assisting
    Honiarabased state institutions in the form of a variety of
    capacity-building programs. This has included a heavy
    reliance on expatriate expertise positioned in central
    justice agencies. The National Judiciary has benefited
    significantly from this support, although to date the direct
    effects of increased assistance have not been felt in most

    Guinée, Guinée-Bissau

    After decades of turmoil and
    instability, a period of calm and progress evolved in
    Guinea-Bissau in 2009. A military coup in April 2012
    interrupted it. A fresh start is needed to alter the
    dynamics that kept Guinea-Bissau poor. In 2013, Gross
    National Income per capita was US$590. Average economic
    growth barely kept pace with population growth. In 2010,
    poverty at the national poverty line of US$2 a day was 70

    The development community is
    increasingly accepting the importance of evidence, feedback,
    and learning. Some of which is generated through research,
    monitoring, and self-evaluation during policy-making,
    program design, and implementation. Others come from
    feedback from people directly affected by interventions who
    have gained a greater voice, be it through third-party
    feedback mechanisms, social media, beneficiary surveys, or
