COSTANTINO, Agostina. Foreign Capital and Land Grabbing: Social Conflicts and Accumulation by Dispossession in Argentina. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2016, n.55, pp.137-149. ISSN 0123-885X. https://doi.org/10.7440/res55.2016.09.
The process of acquisition of large extensions of land by foreign investors (transnational corporations, foreign governments, and individual investors) has intensified in the past decade in Argentina. The expansion of ownership of the land by transnational capital in these countries, with the explicit support of their governments, has generated a series of socio-environmental conflicts due to evictions, enclosures of public spaces, forest clearances, etc. Based on a corporate intelligence method, this article attempts to answer the following questions: What were the main mechanisms through which foreign investors acquired land in the country, and what role did the state play in making this possible?
