My PhD project is entitled 'Land Grabbing in the Post-Socialist Era? - The Role of Intermediary Elite Brokers in Eastern European Transitional Democracies', with a specific focus on Romania.
Scholars in the international land debate frequently refer to the important role of local and national governments and elites in initiating and facilitating land deals, however without a further elaboration and conceptualization of these important actors. I am trying to grasp this specific part in the context of Post-Communist Transitional Eastern European Democracies still struggling with the legacy of communism embedded in their institutions and social structures, which paves the way for so-called elite entrepreneurs or defined by myself as 'intermediary elites' (based upon a first theoretical exploration of the field), entering the property playing field. The concept of 'Land Grabbing', most likely adopted from NGOs/CSOs to indicate the urge of the matter, is currently being used as a catch-all term and needs further conceptualization. I will therefore treat the concept of land grabbing as a 'sensitizing concept'.
In a comparative case study analysis, with a mixed method research design, I am combining semi-structured interviews with a Social Network Analysis (SNA), hereby adhering an interdisciplinary approach by applying theories from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology & political science.
