The Complexities of Water Disaster Adaptation
The article argues for an interdisciplinary approach to studying the complex circumstances that turn natural hazards into disasters. It takes on the ambitious task of combining a social sciences-inspired vulnerability and adaptation analysis with a natural science-based hydrological modelling analysis, and using both to investigate climate-related water disasters in two communities in the Quang Binh Province, central Vietnam. The article shows ho…
Goodbye to Universal Development and Call for Diversified, Democratic Sufficiency and Frugality. The Need to Re-conceptualising Development and Revitalising Development Studies
There is need for a new development concept that allows for the expected global population of 9–11 billion by 2050 to live within the ecological finite world. Since the concept of development became the Western countries’ mantra of human progress and modernisation, promising the undeveloped Third World countries materialistic welfare similarly to the developed countries, the poorest countries keep falling further behind in poverty. Rapidly growin…
The Past, Present and Future of Development Studies
Development as a political goal came into being in the mid-twentieth century, and development studies as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of enquiry has been around for 50 years or
Rethinking natural resource management in Thailand
Environmental science is shaped by the socio-political context in which it is produced. Environmental problems and explanations are context specific, and this article contributes to a critical political ecology by illustrating the changing relationship between conceptualisation of environmental problems and explanations of them, and the socio-political context in contemporary Thailand. During the 'development epoch' from the 1950s, both natural a…
The territorialisation of rural Thailand
This paper shows how the control over land and resources in rural Thailand in the present phase of globalisation is a struggle between economic, social and political powers at the global, national and local level. Ever since Thailand was integrated into the world market by signing the Bowring Treaty in 1855 and especially after it embarked on rapid development in the late 1950s economic growth has changed the rural (and urban) landscapes. Since t…
Environment—a liability and an asset for economic development
National rights of utilization of natural resources (depletion of primary forest, decrease in range of biodiversity, etc.) and rights of polluting the ‘global commons’, contributing to global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, etc., have become central themes in today's international debate. For a small, least-developed country like Bhutan, which began modern economic development only 35 years ago after centuries of self-imposed isolation and…
Contract farming and the peasantry
‘Contract Farming’, organised by the peripheral state and multinational agribusiness and financed by the World Bank and international lending institutions, is spreading swiftly in the Third World. Peasant household production is being transformed by this process. This transformation and its trajectory require appropriate theoretical analysis and close empirical examination. Such analysis is obscured rather than illuminated by those radical critic…
