This book examines changing gender roles, relations and hierarchies
in an ethnic minority community in Central Viet Nam. After decades
of war, the community continued its self-sufficient way of life in
this remote forested mountainous region, but in recent years has
been forced to respond to severe climate threats combined with
sudden and destabilizing socioeconomic and regulatory change.
Through the use of both qualitative (interview-based) and
quantitative research methods, the book offers insights into the
complex interactions between climate, regulatory and socioeconomic
changes - including, paradoxically, the emergence of significant
problems for both the community and the environment in the wake of
policies designed to protect the natural environment. Facing
greatly increased food and livelihood insecurity, the women and men
of the community were pushed into the mainstream market economy
without being fully prepared to participate in an economy that is
still very new to them. These sudden transitions caused major
shifts in gender roles and hierarchies, opening up new
possibilities for women to increase their social status in a highly
patriarchal context, but also at a cost for both women and men as
women's burdens increased and men's traditional roles and
livelihoods were lost. The book examines recent trends, including
unanticipated changes and new possible policy-related approaches,
and draws international comparisons with other ethnic minority,
indigenous and remote communities facing similar complex forces of
change. This book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate
students of climate change, gender, environment, and public policy
and development studies.
