<p>This paper intends to show how the issue of land grab could be considered as a consequence of the expansion of capitalism in a framework of the neoliberal globalization and as an example it is considered the case of Colombia. At first a theoretical framework will introduce the concept of expansion of capitalism and the neoliberal globalization from different writers; starting with Karl Marx and the concept of Primitive Accumulation, then Rosa Luxemburg and the Capitalist Landnahme and David Harvey with the concept of accumulation by dispossession. A second part of theory includes the approaches of Saskia Sassen, Susan George and Vandana Shiva, which consider land grab as part of the capitalist expansion. Those approaches also contemplate the consequences of the dispossession of land such as displacement, poverty, hunger and inequality. In a way to see how this process has been developed in the world this paper includes the case of Colombia, which highlights the main considerations about land grab in this country.</p>
