Hydropower Development and the Neglect of Inland Capture Fisheries from a Food Systems Perspective
This paper addresses why food security implications of projected losses to inland capture fisheries due to hydropower development have been neglected in policy arenas. Drawing on the case of the Lower Mekong Basin, this paper applies a conceptual framework for analyzing this question as a case of fundamental food system change. Four inter-related axes of change – narratives, actors, institutions and resources – constitute the framework for analyz…

A State of Knowledge of the Salween River: An Overview of Civil Society Research

Climate change mitigation, land grabbing and conflict: Towards a landscape-based and collaborative action research agenda
Recent research has highlighted the conflict potential of both land deals and climate change mitigation projects, but generally the two phenomena are studied separately and the focus is limited to discrete cases of displacement or contested claims. We argue that research with a broader “landscape” perspective is needed to better understand the complex social, ecological and institutional interactions taking place in sites of land-based climate ch…
Climate change policies, land grabbing and conflict: Perspectives from Southeast Asia
Since the late 1990s, and particularly over the past decade, we have witnessed a proliferation of land-related initiatives being globally promoted in response to the climate change “problem”. Some

Religious expressions of spirituality by displaced Karen from Burma: The need for a spiritually sensitive social work response
A series of events following the 7 November 2010 election in Burma triggered a large-scale displacement of majority Karen people from eastern Burma to the Thai side of the border. The authors were involved in a research project in which narratives were collected from these people to gain an understanding of the impact of this displacement on their lives. The essentiality of spirituality within their religious belief was a significant theme that a…
An education rooted in two worlds: The Karen of northern Thailand
In Karen culture, the family is traditionally the basic unit for the education of the child. In the early 1970s, when Jonni Odochao began to notice that children could not relate to their elders or respect them, he surmised that the problem stemmed from the modern education system and its increasing influence upon youth values, behaviour and ways of thinking. To counter this trend he set in place a two-pronged strategy. Inspired by an old Karen s…
The Role of the Social Sciences in Emerging Civil Society in Thailand
This paper examines social development as a process and as a historically produced discourse before and during the crisis in Southeast Asia. Using the case of Thai social science in different historical periods — from distanced social science to socially engaged social science — to illustrate its relevance to social development, this paper argues that new modes of knowing is necessary to challenge, rethink, and reconstruct the role of social scie…
Mobility and Migration: Female Commercial Sex Work and the HIV Epidemic in Northern Thailand
The commercial sex industry in Thailand is of singular importance in the dy namics of HIV transmission. Ford and Koetsawang (1991) suggest that the sex industry developed significantly during the Vietnam war, and has been amplified recently by international tourism. The majority of female commercial sex worker (CSW) clients, especially outside of the tourist centres and Bangkok, are Thai men (DaGrossa, 1989). Female CSWs in northern Thailand are …
Sexual activity among never-married men in northern Thailand
We use data collected in 1991 to investigate sexual activity among never-married men in Thailand, with a focus on age at first intercourse, characteristics of sexual partners, and conditions under which men visit prostitutes. We sampled men from a broad spectrum of northern Thai society, including university undergraduates, soldiers, and semiskilled/unskilled workers. We found that except for the students, the majority of each subsample is sexual…
