Land acquisitions by investors are the most criticized, but the private sector engages in corridors in other ways, on which research remains scarce.

This book will appeal to scholars and practitioners from diverse fields, offering timely insights into a critical debate UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783839459522?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839459522 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783839459522/original ER -
