  Women's Perspectives: A Case Study of Systematic Land Registration in Cambodia, by Mehrak Mehrvar, Chhay Kim Sore and My Sambath, July 2008      

   With the adoption of a new Land Law in 2001, the Royal Government of Cambodia initiated a comprehensive land reform process. This includes for the first time registration of land owned by individuals and families. Guidelines for land registration strongly recommend Joint Land Titling for property owned by couples to ensure the protection of women's land rights during the process of registration. This study originates from the need to examine more in-depth the participation of women in this process and highlights a series of biases that endanger the recognition of women's land ownership.

"This publication aims at presenting different views on climate change and energy politics in Thailand. In globally sensitive fields like energy and climate change, policies, practices and (in)actions of today are predicted to have a strong and long-lasting impact on our environment – in fact on our lives. Therefore, people need to be able to take effective measures on a common ground for the world we live in. But measures can only be effective and democratic if there is transparency in numbers, so that impacts of energy and climate change policies can be assessed and openly debated..."

"Slow Trade – Sound Farming. A Path to Sustainable Markets?"
RCSD public lecture, at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University, 29 November 2007

Geneva-based policy consultant Aileen Kwa addressed the politics of trade and agriculture and impacts of international agricultural trade on local livelihood. Trade is often assumed by the developed countries for its broad based development; however, it ignores equal power relations between developing and developed countries, and between transnational corporations and local farmers.

Chomchuan Boonrahong, Director of the Sustainable Agriculture Community (ISAC), highlighted ISAC’s work on self-reliant and ecologically sound organic farming of small farmers, and growing demand in organic products in Chiang Mai.
