From slow violence to slow resistance
Dam-associated violence has shaped villagers' lives since the launch of Thailand's Pak Mun Dam project 35 years ago. This slow violence—manifesting through ecological degradation, livelihood loss, and cultural disruption—has prompted equally enduring forms of resistance. Affected communities have challenged state power through subtle and overt resistance, sustained over decades. This article uses a Feminist Political Ecology (FPE) approach to exp…
Land consolidation and rural aging
Land fragmentation and rural aging present significant challenges to sustainable agriculture in Vietnam’s Red River Delta (RRD). This study examines how demographic shifts, especially an aging population, interact with land consolidation to shape farming practices and labor dynamics. Using a mixed-methods approach, we surveyed 600 households and conducted 60 in-depth interviews across 13 communes from 2020 to 2022. Using the Kruskal–Wallis test, …
Rethinking the ‘Defeminization of Agriculture’
Over the past two decades, agricultural restructuring in Vietnam — driven by land consolidation, crop diversification and modernization — has shifted farming from labour‐intensive to capital‐intensive production. This article argues that agrarian change in Vietnam has not simply resulted in the marginalization of women, a finding that challenges dominant narratives of rural transformation. In the Red River Delta, male in‐migration and policy‐driv…
Small hydropower, slow violence, and gendered struggles in Northwest Vietnam
Small hydropower has widely been considered a renewable energy source with minimum adverse social and environmental impacts. However, the expansion of small hydropower in the northwest uplands of Vietnam over the last two decades has created and even normalized persistent and multidimensional water injustice for ethnic minority groups in the region. For some, this expansion has meant persistent, but silent, generational, and cumulative experience…
Environmental justice and the politics of coal‐fired thermal power in Vietnam's Mekong Delta
Coal‐fired thermal power has recently become one of the most pressing issues in Vietnam's development agenda. The country's economic development, industrialization and modernization, and population increases have put increasing pressure on energy demands. The Vietnamese government sees coal‐fired power as a way forward in ensuring energy security, which had led to the planning and construction of plants nationwide, particularly from 2016. Simulta…

Rubber plantations and their implications on gender roles and relations in northern uplands Vietnam
In recent years, rubber plantations have been strongly promoted in the northern uplands of Vietnam–especially in the northwest, where it is an ill agro-ecological fit–with an aim to improve ethnic minority livelihoods and to modernize peasants by transforming them into rubber workers. A large area of land has been taken away from farmers to make way for rubber plantations. This land acquisition and agrarian transformation have impacted local peop…
Perceptions and practices of investment
China is a major investor in hydropower in mainland Southeast Asia. These investments have triggered substantial public concern, with anti-Chinese attitudes intensifying across the region. Yet, Chinese involvement varies across the region. We examine the “practices and perceptions” of Chinese hydropower investment in Vietnam and Myanmar, attending to the framing of dominant explanations of these investments. We caution against reinforcing xenopho…
Political Responses to Dam‐Induced Resettlement in Northern Uplands V ietnam
Dam‐induced resettlers in V ietnam manifest their responses and resistances in many different ways. This is a multiple response that expresses itself at many different levels and is spatio‐temporally contingent. These actors can be individuals, families, groups of people or communities. Drawing on fieldwork in resettlement sites of the S ơn L a hydropower dam in the north‐west of V ietnam, this paper explores how political responses and resistanc…
Rubber plantations in the Northwest
At first glance, rubber plantations in the Northwest of Vietnam do not appear so different from 'large-scale land acquisition', which is quite common in the Global South. However, when we closely examine how many processes in plantations work, we can see that there are many different processes at work besides those that take place in other countries where transnational or domestic corporations purchase or lease land for growing food, fibre or fue…

Damming Rivers in Vietnam
This paper draws on legal documents, policy analyses, secondary data collection, and primary empirical data on dam construction on the Đà [Black] River to highlight uneven power and development both between Vietnam's lowlands and uplands and within its upland areas. It examines how the Northwest's ecological, cultural and agrarian landscapes have been shaped by state development policies and, in turn, how outcomes have contributed—if at all—to re…
