A study in development by dispossession
分析了国家征地导致的企业主导的无就业增长，以及由此引发的非正规部门扩张、生产率下降和民主政治扭曲，对研究发展中国家的土地、政治与经济增长关系有参考价值。
The paper analyses corporate-led jobless growth propelled by development-induced displacement caused by land acquisition by the State. It shows as its inevitable outcome an expanding informal sector which encroaches upon land-related natural resources allocated to the corporate sector. This reduces the latter’s labour productivity and competitiveness along with negative impact on environment and social cohesion. Using the example of India as a multiparty democracy, the paper points to the emergence of a dangerous developmental politics of mutualism between political parties and corporations over land acquisition, which subverts the very democratic process through which political power is wielded.
