BRAZILIAN LAND TENURE CONFLICTS: A SPATIAL ANALYSIS
This paper analyses land occupation involving landless peasants in Brazil for the period 2000–2008. It is the first study to be undertaken at the national level, with a contemporary data span, using spatial analysis. Land occupation in Brazil is a state‐based phenomenon and mainly a political issue. Our results show that land occupation grows with left‐wing political violence and left‐wing government's support through public agencies. The view that land invasion is caused by poverty does not apply to the Brazilian case. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
