Globale Herausforderungen und die (Wieder-)Entstehung neo-traditioneller Landrechte. Rechtsanthropologische Untersuchungen in Guinea-Bissau

Global legal and economic pressures are reshaping land rights in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, through the emergence of 'neo-traditional' claims. This study reveals that local communities are actively reasserting indigenous legal norms to navigate conflicts with global actors—such as tourists, fishermen, oil companies, and environmental organizations—whose divergent legal perceptions disrupt traditional boundaries, eroding trust and fostering accusations of immorality. The research employs legal anthropology to analyze how these neo-traditional rights, while initially aimed at excluding outsiders, also introduce internal changes within the archipelago's age-class society. The findings highlight the tension between globalization and local governance, demonstrating how traditional systems adapt to external pressures while facing internal transformations.
