Living with extreme weather
Climate change has intensified health risks for informal outdoor workers in the Global South, whose exposure to extreme weather is compounded by systemic marginalisation, economic precarity, and limited access to healthcare. Yet dominant climate–health research and adaptation policies remain shaped by technocratic, model-driven approaches that obscure the situated experiences and adaptive repertoires of those most affected. Drawing on co-construc…
Ruralization in the Global North? A Southeast Asia-centered response to Santi and Matthews
This response speaks to ruralization's multifaceted potential by bringing Santi and Matthews’ three ruralizing frames – autonomy, reparation, and rematriation – into conversation with Southeast Asia. Mapping Southeast Asia onto their analysis of ruralization as a means of decolonizing land relations proves less fruitful than thinking about ruralization as a concept with productively divergent histories and geographies.
Asian Smallholders in Comparative Perspective
Asian Smallholders in Comparative Perspective provides the first multicountry, inter-disciplinary analysis of the single most important social and economic formation in the Asian countryside: the smallholder. Based on ten core country chapters, the volume describes and explains the persistence, transformations, functioning and future of the smallholder and smallholdings across East and Southeast Asia. As well as providing a source book for schola…
Erosion of traditional ecological knowledge under conditions of hydrosocial rupture
What role does traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) play in resource-based livelihoods under conditions of hydrosocial rupture? Does such knowledge come into its own, or is it sidelined, even eroded and jeopardised? This paper addresses these core questions in the fragile floodscapes of the Vietnamese Mekong floodplains. It examines how TEK is intertwined with transboundary hydrological effects of climate and water infrastructural development, …
Administering and encountering the poor
In this paper we argue that there is a ‘missing middle’ between policies to ameliorate poverty of those in need and the experience of poverty. Drawing on interviews with respondent poor(er) households in Brunei's ‘water village’ of Kampong Ayer and with officials and local leaders, the paper details a complex and well‐funded system of support for those in need. It then shows how this impressive architecture of welfare does not always meet the nee…
From causality to blame
It has become common to attribute the growing frequency and severity of floods to climate change. But the factors behind flooding are many, and climate change often disappears from the equation at the local level. This study draws on interviews with key informants and community members and focus group discussions to explore the increasing incidence of flooding in two sub-districts in Eastern Thailand. To our surprise, there was little sense of co…

The Routledge Handbook of Global Development
This Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of some of the world's most pressing global development challenges - including how they may be better understood and addressed through innovative practices and approaches to learning and teaching. Featuring 61 contributions from leading and emerging academics and practitioners, this multidisciplinary volume is organized into five thematic parts exploring: changes in global development financing, ide…
Social Memory in the Mekong’s Changing Floodscapes
Rural adaptation encompasses place-based perceptions, behaviors, livelihoods, and traditional ways of life associated with local environments. These perceptions, norms, and practices are disturbed by coupled environment-development externalities. This study employs the Vietnamese Mekong floodplains as an exemplary case to illustrate how floods impact agrarian communities and how they have experienced flood alterations driven by hydropower develop…
Governing resilient cities for planetary flourishing in the Asia-Pacific
For the first time in 2019, the Asia-Pacific became a majority urban region. The unprecedented pace and magnitude of urbanisation across Asia and the Pacific has exposed tens of millions of urban residents to heightened risks and vulnerabilities associated with the expanding ecological footprint of urban energy, food and water demands and the increasingly severe effects of global climate change. This special issue directs attention toward the cha…
People and Climate Change
Climate change is a profoundly social and political challenge with many social justice concerns around every corner. A global issue, climate change threatens the well-being, livelihood, and survival of people in communities worldwide. Often, those who have contributed least to climate change are the most likely to suffer from its negative consequences and are often excluded from the policy discussions and decisions that affect their lives. This b…
Lao peasants on the move
Grant Evans’ body of work on Laos consistently sought to understand how peasant society responded to political, social and economic change. As the Lao peasantry became ever more integrated both nationally and within the wider Southeast Asian region, and relations of market exchange came to dominate rural life, Evans maintained the need to reflect on Laos’ peasant roots to understand resulting pathways of agrarian change. This paper reconnects wit…

Challenging Southeast Asian Development
Over the course of the last half century, the growth economies of Southeast Asia – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – have transformed themselves into middle income countries. This book looks at how the very success of these economies has bred new challenges, novel problems, and fresh tensions, including the fact that particular individuals, sectors and regions have been marginalised by these processes. Contri…
The devil in the detail
Tracking and explaining patterns and trajectories of social and economic change in the global S outh is a key challenge for geographers. Panel studies, though rare, offer a particularly rich alternative insight to more usual cross‐sectional studies. Drawing on a 25‐year longitudinal panel study of two villages in rural Thailand, this paper reveals the complexities of the processes underway, the shifting terrains of explanation, and the surprises …
The Texture of Livelihoods
Through the experience of 30 rural migrants to Hanoi, this paper reconstructs their livelihood histories, linking the experience of our migrant subjects with wider transformations in Vietnam’s economy and society. We argue for an ‘everyday’ political economy that recognises the fluid connections between the state, society and economy, and the individual. While highlighting the indeterminacy and contingency of life, we recognise the wider context …
Agrarian questions and environmental dilemmas redux
The world might have become, for the first time in human history, a majority urban place, but there are clearly important seams of research to mine in the Southeast Asian countryside. These six books amply show why there is a continuing interest in rural areas and agrarian living in the region
Connecting Lives, Living, and Location
This article explores mobility transitions in Thailand through the particular experience of two villages in Northeast Thailand over the period from the early 1980s through to 2009. The authors show through the mobility histories of Ban Non Tae and Ban Tha Song Korn that, while rural settlements may have always had a greater degree of mobility than the sedentary peasant paradigm suggests, important changes have taken place over the last quarter of…

Critical Commentary. The World Development Report 2009
Over the last 25 years the World Bank has annually published reports on world economic development with wide-ranging themes.Two have showcased agriculture and rural development, but this is the first to place urban areas centre stage.Unlike the rural reports, which had copious references to concrete rural development problems and policies, this year's WDR is a celebration of the theoretical concept of agglomeration, and its influence in creating …
The World Development Report 2009 ‘reshapes economic geography’
By and large, geographers have had little to say about the World Bank's annual flagship World Development Reports (WDRs). However, with the just published WDR 2009 (hereafter referred to as the Report), things might be different, for it claims to be concerned with nothing less than ‘reshaping economic geography’. In his foreword, the President of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, writes that he expects ‘Reshaping Economic Geography will stimulate …
Reconfiguring rural spaces and remaking rural lives in central Thailand
Drawing on fieldwork in the central plains of Thailand, the paper traces the transformation of the study villages from agricultural communities, to divided and often fractious dormitory settlements. Agriculture has been largely squeezed out of the local economy and local livelihoods by a raft of economic, environmental and social changes. At the same time, the rural spaces of Thailand have been infiltrated by a range of non-agricultural activitie…
An Everyday Geography of the Global South
Taking a broad perspective of livelihoods, this book draws on more than ninety case studies from thirty-six countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to examine how people are engaging and living with modernity. This extends from changes in the ways that households operate, to how and why people take on new work and acquire new skills, how migration and mobility have become increasingly common features of existence, and how aspirations and …

Managing Dependency in a Reforming Economy
Managing Dependency in a Reforming Economy
The Lao People's Democratic Republic is one of Asia's poorest, smallest and least studied countries. In 1986, the Lao Government introduced a policy of economic reform ? chin thanakaan mai or new thinking ? and since that date the economy has been undergoing a fundamental and continuing shift towards the market. This article examines the developmental context of economic reform in the country, outlining the constraints and opportunities that pres…

Southeast Asia
The growth economies of Southeast Asia are presented by the World Bank and others as exemplars of development - 'miracle' economies to be emulated. How did the region attain such status? Are the 'other' countries of Southeast Asia able to achieve such a rapid growth? This book charts the development of Southeast Asia, examining the economies of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Burma alongside the established Asian market economies. Drawing on case stu…
