Thomas Sikor is Reader in International Development at the University of East Anglia, UK. He works on resource property, governance, and institutions with an empirical focus on agriculture and forestry. His past research has examined processes of agrarian change in postsocialist countries, including field research in Albania, Romania and Vietnam.
