  abstract = {{C}oncessions granted to investors in {C}ambodia have generated a deep sense of insecurity in rural forested areas. {V}illagers are not confined to a passive 'everyday resistance of the poor', as mentioned by {J}ames {S}cott, insofar as they frequently engage in frontal strategies for recovering land. {S}uch has been the case in the northeastern provinces, where indigenous livelihoods are recurrently threatened by foreign and national companies. {B}ut what happens when a land conflict ends up in a stakeholder dialogue ? {T}he article intends to follow such a story that occurred for the first time in {R}atanakiri, in a vast territory inhabited by several ethnic groups. {A}fter gruelling hostilities with the encroacher, dispossessed farmers finally accepted, encouraged by international/national {NGO}s, to comply with existing mechanisms associated with international law regulations and {W}orld {B}ank procedures. {I}t ends up in an institutionalised mediation, technical and apolitical, which turned to the disadvantage of the people, with evident power imbalance. {O}ur analysis, while portraying the trajectories of national/international actors involved in the mediation process, reveals the effects on this mediation on local sociopolitical organisations.},
