Beyond the Binary of Formal and Informal: Negotiating Hybrid Land Control by Chinese Banana Entrepreneurs in Laos
As transnational land investments continue to expand across the Global South, land governance in many settings is shifting from largely informal arrangements towards greater formalization. However, we know less about how entrepreneurs sustain and rework land control as host states tighten regulation and introduce new formal requirements and how these requirements are implemented in practice. To address this gap, drawing on Chinese banana investme…

Excavating agrarian transformation under 'secure' crop booms: Insights from the China-Myanmar borderland
This paper examines the transformation of agrarian livelihoods due to crop booms at the China-Myanmar borderland. A key finding is that local villagers have rented out their land to outside investors looking to make fruit boom investments. However, the villagers neither cultivated the same crops themselves, nor were they hired as wage laborers. Overall, this study finds that crop booms provide local villagers with opportunities to reallocate natu…
Fruit booms and investor mobility along the China-Myanmar and China-Laos borders
Investment in fruit cultivation is currently transforming agricultural production and rural landscapes in the mountainous region of mainland Southeast Asia, especially in the borderlands and lowlands of this region. Unlike large-scale land acquisitions and investment in previously reported boom crops, e.g., rubber trees and oil palms, investment in fruit cultivation is generally short-term, small-scale, and often informal. Additionally, different…

The Role of Small-Scale Farming in Familial Care
At present, Thailand’s market economy is placing pressure on familial care within rural households. An increasing amount of people are making their living in the current market economy and moving to urban areas in search of employment. The provisioning of care has come under greater risk, especially for women and couples of working age who are exposed to the possibilities of losing employment opportunities. While caregiving has been a responsibil…
Living under the State and Storms: The History of Blood Cockle Aquaculture in Bandon Bay, Thailand
Bandon Bay, on the east coast of peninsular Thailand, has seen rapid development of coastal aquaculture since the 1970s. It has also seen the emergence of conflict between fishermen and aquaculture farmers over competing claims on marine resources. This article examines the roles of state initiatives, environmental changes, and natural disasters in the development of these conflicts

Linkage of Forest Policies and Programs with Land Coverand Land Use Changes in the Northern Mountain Region of Vietnam: A Village-level Case Study
This paper examines the land cover and land use changes in one village in the Vietnam's northern mountain region. It overviews the changing forest policies in Vietnam from the country's independence in 1954 to 2005 and relates these changes to the management of forest land at the village level. Findings show that until the late-1980s/early-1990s Vietnam's policies encouraged the harvesting of timber for nation building activities and the expansio…
