    Morocco

    Au Maroc, l’intérêt porté au thème des communs est assez récent même si, traditionnellement, l’accès aux ressources partagées était régulé par des principes communautaires issus des règles coutumières (orf) et/ou des normes du droit islamique (chraa) (Lazarev, 2005 ; Rachik, 2016). La gestion collective des ressources agrosylvopastorales s’inscrit dans la longue histoire de la paysannerie marocaine, où les communautés humaines, structurées en tribus, jouissaient durant la période précoloniale d’une relative autonomie de décision par rapport à l’État central (makhzen).

    Chad

    Located in the Guéra region in central Chad, the Mongo Sub-Prefecture is the scene of recurring conflicts related to the occupation and exploitation of the land. While the phenomenon is neither new nor specific to this part of the country, the scale it has taken in recent years makes it a worrying subject. This land conflicts are driven by a multitude of actors with traditional authorities, agricultural producers and the urban elite at the center.

    Analisa-se como observador-participante a evolução do pensamento do movimento social camponês transnacional, a Via Campesina, nos últimos 25 anos, sobre os temas da reforma agrária e da defesa da terra e do território. O mundo rural e a questão agrária mudaram e as mudanças externas aos movimentos, juntamente com seus diálogos de saberes e suas trocas de experiências internas, geraram novas posições, estratégias de luta, consensos e dilemas.

    Burkina Faso

    Le nouveau report de GLOCON examine l'impact de l'exploitation minière industrielle au Burkina Faso sur la population locale ; il présente la perspective des résident·e·s de six mines industrielles. Des enquêtes dans les villages riverains montrent que, au contraire qu’aux promesses faites par les sociétés et les autorités étatiques, les conditions de vie ne se sont pas améliorées. Par contre, les répondant·e·s rapportent la perte de leurs moyens de subsistance et des problèmes de santé, ainsi qu’un comportement irrespectueux de la part des sociétés minières.

    Brazil

    The purpose of this paper is to highlight the detrimental impact of land tenure insecurity on deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. It is related to recent controversies about the detrimental impact of land laws on deforestation, which seem to legitimize land encroachments. The latter is mainly the result of land tenure insecurity which is a key characteristic of this region and results from a long history of interactions between rural social unrest and land reforms or land laws. A simple model is developed where strategic interactions between farmers lead to excessive deforestation.

    Papua New Guinea

    In this paper I will examine how logging in Papua New Guinea affects the relationship between the state and the local communities on whose lands logging operations take place. The point of departure of my argument is the Ili- Wawas Integrated Project, a combined logging and agricultural project which seeks to bring economic development to the remote Pomio district of East New Britain Province by connecting existing logging roads to the limited national road network around the provincial capital.

    Urban agriculture has been theorized by social scientists, and even some urban growers, as a means of reclaiming the commons. But what does “reclaiming the commons” entail? A longue-durée genealogy reveals distinct socio-legal imaginations of the commons and visions of how it might be reclaimed. Social thinkers and reformers have split over how to address the key problem of private property identified by John Locke: landless people who can’t find paid employment.
