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 $a»By offering a nuanced comparative analysis of two key actors often mistakenly represented as antithetical in the land grab debate, the book makes a timely and relevant contribution to one of the most controversial issue shaping contemporary processes of global restructuring. The book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of comparative political economy, agri-food as well as development studies.« Michaela Bo?hme, Connections, 14.02.2020 410 0$aEdition Politik 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aInvestments, Chinese$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aInvestments, British$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 607 $aSub-Saharan Africa$2fast 610 $aPolitical Science and International Studies 610 $aChina 610 $aBritain 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 0$aInvestments, Chinese 615 0$aInvestments, British 676 $a332.67/3096 700 $aGoetz$b Ariane$0967931 712 02$atranscript: Open Library 2019 (Politik)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309136303316 996 $aLand Grabbing and Home Country Development$92198257 997 $aUNISA
