An investigation into land rush in the Colombian Amazon

New publication by Itayosara Rojas Herrera

In her article, 'The landscape and conjuncture of the land rush in the Colombian Amazon: Failed and pin-prick land deals', Itayosara Rojas Herrera analyses various forms of land rushes.

Rojas Herrera identifies three types of land rushes:

  • non-operational or failed land deals
  • every-day 'pin-prick' land accumulation

With a focus on the Colombian Amazon, she hopes to gain a better understanding of each type of land rush and a better grasp of the overall phenomenon.
