Peter Hochet. Specializing in West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Senegal) where he has lived for the past eight years, Peter’s research and expertise lies in the field of land governance (public policy, rural land tenure, pastoralism, conservation, mining) and the political system of local authorities, decentralization and the State (decision–making, application of legislation, use of public services). His work on these topics is published regularly in international academic reviews. In the mining sector he focuses on baseline studies and compensation and resettlement processes.
