Understanding the legal dimension of state-led dispossession
Local Self‐Governance and the State in South Sudan
With governance increasingly regarded as co-governance, states’ capacity to steer, correct, and discipline a wide range of self-governing actors becomes crucial for states’ effectiveness, efficiency, and democracy. This article investigates that capacity and the relationship between formal institutions and customary self-governance in areas of limited statehood. In South Sudan, the field of land governance can be regarded as an area of limited st…
Land expropriation – The hidden danger of climate change response in Mozambique
This paper sets out why land expropriation is a hidden danger of the response to climate change; a danger that is not adequately captured in legislation and that risks disproportionately affecting the poor. Measures to mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change are often dependent on states’ access to land. The legal mechanism through which states can obtain rights over land is expropriation, but a fair expropriation process depends on a nu…

Government-led Resettlement after Natural Disasters as a Durable Solution? The Case of Cyclone Idai
Thousands of people had to flee their homes when Cyclone Idai hit Mozambique in 2019. In its aftermath, the government resettled more than 80,000 people from high-risk areas to safer ground. This article analyses resettlement as a durable solution to disaster response. The question of durable resettlement due to climate-related displacement is especially pertinent in the light of ongoing climate change. Based on empirical research, we show that, …
The Main Characteristics of the Timorese Legal System - a Practical Guide

A biodiversidade doméstica
Contrariamente a uma opinião comum, o Homem não foi apenas e nem sempre destruidor das outras espécies. Certamente ele destruiu bastante, mas também protegeu de maneira considerável. Além disso, domesticando os animais, ele os transformou e os diversificou, dando nascimento a novas espécies e - no interior das espécies - a novas raças, criando assim a 'biodiversidade doméstica'. Esta, diferente da biodiversidade natural, é desconhecida e negligen…
