Home is not a familiar concept in international law. This paper looks at land grabbing and international law from the perspective of home. Through a case-study of a land grab in the context of a World Bank development project at Boeung Kak Lake in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, it argues that international law is involved in profound transformations of home. By making visible how experiences of loss, suffering, and struggle, as well as radical engagement, emerge from international law’s “homemaking” work, it also argues that the concept of home opens up a terrain of experience that cannot be captured or expressed in international law. The perspective from home in the land-grabbing debate is particularly important where not only is land at risk of capture for economic gain, but so too are the personal lifeworlds that homes represent.

湖之家：国际法和全球土地掠夺

家在国际法中并不是一个熟悉的概念。本文从国内的角度审视土地掠夺和国际法。通过在柬埔寨金边 Boeung Kak 湖的世界银行开发项目背景下的土地掠夺案例研究，它认为国际法涉及家庭的深刻变革。通过揭示国际法的“家务”工作如何产生失落、痛苦和斗争以及激进参与的经验，它还认为，家的概念开辟了一个在国际上无法捕捉或表达的经验领域。法律。在土地掠夺辩论中，从家庭的角度来看尤其重要，因为不仅土地面临着为了经济利益而被夺取的风险，而且家庭所代表的个人生活世界也是如此。
