This December representatives from peasant movements around the world will gather together with each other and with specialists in land reform policies, at the World Forum on Agrarian Reform, to be held in Valencia, Spain. On the top of their agenda will be debunking the hype emanating from the World Bank on the topic of land reform, and organizing a global campaign to fight the pernicious impacts of the Bank's land policies. In fact, recent shifts in World Bank policies toward land might remind one of the title of the old Clint Eastwood movie, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
