Abstract This article investigates the governance potentials of different policies and laws addressing the issues arising out of large-scale farmland investments in low income countries. To this end, it will interpret their development on the whole as a tentative effort by a set of different actors to forge an effective governance system. It is argued here that this development has largely been shaped by three distinctive strategies: 1) forming a better understanding of the complex issues arising out of large-scale farmland investments, 2) reframing these issues, the responsibilities of involved actors, and the purpose of regulation, and finally, 3) flexibly shifting modes of governance in view of ineffective national and international laws and institutions. All three strategies have contributed to establishing a system of transnational governance mechanisms that has the potential to effectively change investment practices.
