She reflects on Chinese and British public policy, state-society relations, national developmental contexts, ideologies, and international relations and thereby gives insights into the political economies that enable these investments as well as the development ambitions and institutionalized paradigms of which they form a part. 330 1 $a»By offering a nuanced comparative analysis of two key actors often mistakenly represented as antithetical in the land grab debate, the book makes a timely and relevant contribution to one of the most controversial issue shaping contemporary processes of global restructuring. The book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of comparative political economy, agri-food as well as development studies.« 410 0$aEdition Politik 517 2 $aGoetz, Land Grabbing and Home C.$eChinese and British Land Acquisitions in Comparative Perspective 606 $aLand Grabbing 606 $aForeign Direct Investment (FDI) 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aInternational Political Economy 606 $aChina 606 $aUK 606 $aSub-Saharan Africa 606 $aInvestor 606 $aHome-Country Context 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aPolitics 606 $aNeoliberalism 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aSociology of Development 606 $aPolitical Science 615 4$aLand Grabbing 615 4$aForeign Direct Investment (FDI) 615 4$aPublic Policy 615 4$aInternational Political Economy 615 4$aChina 615 4$aUK 615 4$aSub-Saharan Africa 615 4$aInvestor 615 4$aHome-Country Context 615 4$aGlobalization 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aNeoliberalism 615 4$aInternational Relations 615 4$aSociology of Development 615 4$aPolitical Science 676 $a332.67/3096 700 $aGoetz$b Ariane$p
