In a world of flux, when old territories are dissolving and new
nations and entities such as the European Union are coming together,
who controls goods and services, ideas, information, and creativity?
Who patrols the new frontiers?
This volume opens a window to the dark side of globalization and the
struggles for autonomy it has generated. The chapters focus on property
regimes in crisis as sites where globalization, autonomy, and the
political economy of international capitalism intersect. Sites of
friction – from indigenous land claims to disputes over
forests in British Columbia to conflicts between traditional farmers
and the patent owners of genetically modified seeds –
demonstrate not only how property laws and intellectual property rights
are supporting the expansion of private property regimes through
enclosures but also how local activists are using a politics of place
to resist these forces.
Indigenous peoples around the world continue to win major land
claims during an era of increased corporate control over property. The
work of Palestinian poets, whose attachment to the land is explored in
a powerful Coda in the last chapter of the book, shows that a politics
of place can help local actors build new bases of autonomy to withstand
the forces of globalization.
