Sumario:This paper demonstrates how the global land rush simultaneously produces operational land deals and non-operational/'failed' land deals. We argue that it is important to study both types, and the logic that produces them, because both can fundamentally alter social relations and the wider landscapes in which they are embedded. Furthermore, non-operational land deals, sometimes lumped together with similar cases under the label of 'failed land deals' could in fact be successful land grabs. Differentiating the land rush and land grabbing, including their different scopes, allow us to see better the extent of the global land rush and land grabbing, and the long-term impacts they have on broad social life.
