Abstract

Im Kontext des großflächigen Wandels von Zugang und Nutzung von Land - kritisch als land grabbing bezeichnet - kommt es vermehrt zu Konflikten zwischen Landnutzer_innen und Investoren. In diesen Prozessen der "Inkontrollnahme" ist der Staat auf vielfältige Weise involviert. Empirische Studien zum Staat verweisen zwar auf die Vielseitigkeit und Widersprüchlichkeit staatlichen Handelns; sie beschäftigen sich aber nur in seltenen Fällen mit Konflikten um Land und lassen darüber hinaus die Komplexität des staatlichen Gefüges oftmals unberücksichtigt. In diesem Working Paper analysiere ich anhand einer Fallstudie zum Handeln zehn staatlicher Akteure in einem Konflikt um die Ausweitung der Sojaproduktion im Norden Brasiliens, wie diese Akteure Konflikte um Land beeinflussen. Ich argumentiere, dass das Handeln der unterschiedlichen staatlichen Akteure einzeln und in Beziehung zueinander analysiert werden muss, um die Rolle des Staates in Konflikten um Land besser zu verstehen. Um die Widersprüche staatlichen Handels zu erklären, greife ich auf Pierre Bourdieus Verständnis von Staat als ein Feld zurück. Diese gehen auf unterschiedliche Interessen, Kompetenzen und Zuständigkeiten zurück und strukturieren sich entlang verschiedener gegensätzlicher Anordnungen. Diese Komplexität staatlichen Handelns hat maßgeblichen Einfluss auf den Konfliktverlauf sowie dessen Dauer.
