Abstract
This thematic section addresses transformative processes in property relations and access to resources in what are characterized as rural spaces. Despite the dominance of the neo-liberal reading of globalization that repeatedly endorses an open architecture to the global economy in the name of economic growth and greater equality between north and south, much of the evidence points to a quite different outcome. Contributors to this section, while coming from different but interrelated perspectives, share an interest in key mechanisms whereby transnational-local interaction transforms rural property relations and resource management. Given a common focus on the role of law, these articles demonstrate that first and foremost, transnational interdependencies involve paradoxical conjunctions.
