Impacts of large scale land-based investment: case of Chotiari water reservoir from Pakistan
Prof. Dr. Andre TorreEconomistINRA AgroParisTechRue Clause Bernard, 75005 Paris, France
To identify conflictive events on different pieces of land in the developing countries (how to extend and modify previous studies on developed countries?)
To shed light on the factors of land use conflicts for an infrastructure setting, which lead to dramatic social disagreements, protestations, and environmental degradations
To breach the gap between principle actors and outside stakeholders, in order to manage existing conflicts and to reduce their chances in upcoming projects
Introduction: aims of the thesis
2
Traditional approaches. Conflict is the problem, how to solve it?
Technical & scientific planning (Barron et al., 2004)
Negative externalities (Pham, 2010)
Elite capture of resources & violation of rights (Scudder, 2005)
Voice approach. Conflict is the purpose of analysis (not often used in developing countries)
Dumping voices (Hirschman, 1970; Rucht et al., 1999; Hessel, 2010)
Proximity mobilization (Torre and Beuret, 2012)
Different paths of conflicts in developed and developing countries

II. Research questions & hypotheses
4
Main topic of research: questions
What are the impacts on the territory of different conflicts over the uses of a piece of land, with respect to available resources, economic activities, and governance structure?
What factors are associated with land use conflicts in infrastructural projects and what are their responsible actors?
Does the stakeholders’ relationship network create dissimilar power distribution?
Are there any solution to such situations (in general as well as case study perspective)?
5
II.
Analytical question
What changes needed in analytical methods to bring real image of land use conflicts in the developing countries (how to extend and modify previous studies)?
6
II.
Overview about the hypotheses
Land use conflicts in developing countries are mainly due to:
Insufficient involvement of regional population from decision to construction operations, and violation of their rights
Governance inefficiency and inconsistency in rehabilitation, relocation and compensation process
