| Summary |
"This report analyses 12 land deals and their wider legal frameworks. The aim is to discuss the contractual issues for which public scrutiny is most needed and to promote informed public debate about them. Key issues relate to the contracting process, to economic fairness between investor and host country, to the distribution of risks, costs and benefits within the host country, to the degree of integration of social and environmental concerns, and to the extent to which the balance between economic, social and environmental considerations can evolve over often long contract durations"--Page 1 |
