Abstract

In recent years, the land issue in developing and transition countries tended to focus on the ?land grab? of farmland by international operators. The role of national elites in the reconfiguration of agrarian structures remains often underestimated. This article sheds light on land acquisitions by the urban elites (?cadres?) in Côte d?Ivoire, a very dynamic trend since the 2000s, mainly for creating rubber plantations. After discussing land acquisitions by national elites as a research topic, the paper characterizes the actors and the transactions, pinpoints the tensions and conflicts induced by these land transfers and the securing strategies implemented by the cadres, and discusses the productive use of land so acquired. The analysis relies on data collected from 100 buyers and 53 sellers in 2013-2014.
