Promised Land: Palm Oil and Land Acquisition in Indonesia: Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples

Article number 10219694

This study examines the rapid expansion of palm oil plantations in Indonesia and the consequences of large-scale land acquisition for indigenous peoples and local communities. Through case studies, legal analysis and field research, the book explores issues such as customary land rights, environmental change, economic development, government policy, social conflict and negotiations between corporations and rural populations. It places the growth of the palm oil industry within broader debates about globalization, resource management, human rights and sustainable development, while documenting how communities respond to changing land ownership structures and plantation expansion.
