Abstract
This article examines different perceptions of justice and rights in relation to land disputes in Cambodia. The concept of economic land concessions (ELCs) has created contesting and conflicting discourses as different groups and individuals give diverse meanings to land and development. Research demonstrates how the meanings given to "justice" and "rights" in relation to ELCs reflect ways in which power circulates and is exercised and there is a lack of procedural justice in the formal and informal dispute resolution processes available to the rural Cambodians who are affected. Those who have more power benefit from ELC development, while local villagers are marginalized and oppressed in the development process.
