Socio-environmental contestations can also inadvertently result in negative spillovers, or a kind of indirect land use change. I propose a concept of redirected land use and control change for cases with strategic adaptations by promoters of frontiers. I suggest three dimensions of adaptations – across spaces, political-administrative regimes and in forms of land appropriation – to apprehend the multi-scale politics of land grabbing, through the case of Matopiba in Brazil.}, language = {en}, number = {2}, urldate = {2022-03-15}, journal = {Journal of Peasant Studies}, author = {Calmon, Daniela}, month = feb, year = {2022}, note = {Number: 2}, pages = {263--287}, }
