More than 250 years ago Jean-Jacques Rousseau described the fatal moment when a human being fenced in a piece of land for the first time in order to declare it his property-an illegal act for Rousseau because "the earth belongs to no one".
Landgrab and territorial exclusion are an everyday phenomenon worldwide, and are taken for granted to an outrageous extent. What they reflect is collective powerlessness in the face of existing, and often postcolonial, power-relationships which are based on exploitation and in no way allow the population concerned to have its share of the available wealth.
