From the political economy perspective, land grabbing involves taking control over the land and its resources, including water, minerals or food sources, to manage the benefits of its use. It is as good as managing ‘land-based wealth’. There may also be hidden agenda for land grabs where the land serves a different purpose from that discussed during land acquisition. In this sense, land grabbing is political in nature because there is a struggle for power to decide how the land and its resources, and benefits that can be derived from them, will be used (Transnational Institute [TNI], 2012). Good governance is a major topic in this context.
