Transformations on the Ground

Space and the Power of Land in Botswana

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Botswana's struggle to access international economies, few resources are as fundamental and fraught as control over land. Land, Power, and the Global considers the ways in which power in all its formsâ local, international, legal, familialâ affects the collision of global with local concerns over access to land and control over its use.
