Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma caused significant destruction to the Caribbean during the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season. In its aftermath, many of these Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are left with the dilemma of seeking ways to rebuild in some cases entire nation states. Using the case study of Antigua and Barbuda, where Barbuda was the first Caribbean island to receive a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, the paper begins to explore the ways in which the global system of exploitation of SIDS exacerbates internal historical conflicts which is a manifestation of climate injustices. Specifically, the Barbudans’ relative privilege in having inherited communal land rights have become, for the government, the barrier standing in the way of the only alternative funding sources for reconstruction, foreign tourism investment. Using the theoretical underpinnings of climate justice, we argue that the causers of climate change, who are generally the inheritors of the historic colonization, exploitation and impoverishment of these states, will effectively benefit from the intensity of Hurricane Irma, given that they will eventually get access to Barbudan land if the communal land rights are revoked.

Indigenous Land

Negotiating Indigenous land rights has become known as the new third way. It is the alternative to native title claims and claims under land rights legislation. Negotiation of land and other customary rights is a source of empowerment in a contemporary political climate that is otherwise paternalistic. It allows Indigenous people to be involved in setting the terms of land claims in terms of compensation, land access, native title rights, conservation and even governance rights. Already, over 3000 voluntary negotiations have led to settled outcomes with governments, mining companies and other stakeholders

The Impact

<p><em><span class="fontstyle0"><strong>Abstract</strong><br /></span></em></p><p><em><span class="fontstyle1">Nationalization of a Dutch-owned plantation company, NV Deli Maatschappij, was an attempt by the government to improve national economic situation. However, during the process, communal land which was concessioned to the plantation, was also nationalized and not given compensation by the government which resulted the indigenous people of Deli Sultanate losing their customary land. The former plantation land was converted to Cultivation Rights and handed over to the State Plantation Company This problem led to a prolonged conflict over ownership of the former estate. The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the nationalization process carried out by Indonesian government on the existence of indigenous peoples’ customary land rights and obtain  settlement of customary land rights of indigenous peoples as the impact on nationalization. Furthermore, this research is normative legal research (library research) with a statutory approach (statue approach).<br /></span></em></p><p><span class="fontstyle0"><strong><em>Keywords: Nationalization, Communal Land, Compensation</em></strong><br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle3"><br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle3"><strong>Abstrak</strong><br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle4">Proses nasionalisasi Perusahaan Perkebunan milik Belanda, yaitu NV Deli </span><span class="fontstyle1">Maatschappij </span><span class="fontstyle4">adalah upaya pemerintah untuk memperbaiki perekonomian Negara.

Current Context

This article aims to introduce the concept of enclosure as a category to think about privatization policies in education. The concept of enclosure refers to the process by which communal land rights and uses were removed between the 14th and 18th centuries, making possible the passage from feudalism to capitalism. Nowadays, a discourse named as a “commons paradigm” (Bollier, 2007) exposes privatization dynamics as a contemporary movement of enclosure. This paradigm stablishes an analogy between the enclosures that made possible the primitive accumulation and the contemporary dynamics of privatization. In this text, privatization policies in education are analyzed as a movement of enclosure in the school. The text is divided into four sections. Firstly, it analyzes the state-reform process in the current context of globalization and the blurring of boundaries between the public and the private. Secondly, it focuses in the “commons paradigm”, followed by its critics in the next section. The fourth section reflects on the enclosure of the school taking as starting point previous research about privatization policies introduced in Spain and particularly in the Autonomous Region of Madrid.

Purpose of the study: This research aimed at highlighting the cultural implications in the context of the Dayak Tomun community in maintaining the management of land rights based on the customary in Lamandau, Indonesia. Methodology: This study used a quantitative doctrinal research method to look at the macro problems in legislation products and a qualitative non-doctrinal research method to look at the problems conceptualized at the level of microanalysis as a symbolic reality. Main Findings: This research revealed that the cultural approach perspective of the local indigenous people had an important role in the management of land rights. This study discovered the procedures for managing the people's customary land rights, which were simple and based on the local wisdom of the local community, which implied a philosophical meaning of belom behadat (living in traditions, obeying customs), human nature in protecting the realm from destruction. Applications of this study: The findings of this study may be useful for the government in Indonesia since the findings reveal information as regards the management of land rights viewed from not only the rules and laws, but also a form of behavior, actions, and actual and potential human interactions that will be patterned in the management of land rights of Dayak Tomun indigenous people. The cultural implications of the Dayak Tomun indigenous people in managing local land rights based on local wisdom are sacred. Novelty: Indigenous people's background has management procedures, which can be seen from the characteristics of traditional lands, such as the presence of planting and family tree. Meanwhile, the term in the management of land rights is a hereditary habit and contains legal values ​​derived from beliefs (religion), customs, and social culture.
