This report assesses the state of evidence on pathways to accountability in the global land rush...and identifies areas for a new research agenda that places accountability at its centre. The report...[explores] how the legal frameworks regulating the land rush shape opportunities and constraints in formal pathways to accountability; and how people who feel wronged by land deals are responding to seek justice...Overall, there is a relatively good understanding of the opportunities for, and constraints on, accountability that are embedded in formal legal frameworks. But information on the nature and effectiveness of local response strategies remains limited.
