Land grabbing in the Context of the New Geopolitical Division of Africa
 Pantůčková, Klára ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines two phenomena of the current global politics, land grabbing and the so-called New Scramble for Africa. It presents motives leading up to land grabbing, the impacts it causes, as well as the actors involved and recommendations for the future. The phenomenon is explained on an example of land grabbing in Ethiopia. The second part of the thesis focuses on both historical and actual relations of the region of Sub-Saharan Africa with foreign actors, in particular with recently emerged new economic powers. I reviewed land grabbing and New Scramble for Africa as two associated phenomena with regard to their mutual interconnection and common historical background.

These investments are led by various reasons, the main reason being economical profit. The most obvious and the most visible impacts fall mainly on poor local residents but also on country's economical development or environment. Besides causes and effects I looked at the total extent of land grabbing as shown by different statistics. In the last chapter I depicted land grabbing on an example of a particular country, namely Mozambique. Especially a possible extent of those land acqusitions and specific effects on population of this country.
