This collection of fourteen essays presents a unique comparative
analysis of agrarian change in the main rice-growing regions of
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Its central
theme is the interplay between agrarian relations and wider
political-economic systems. By drawing on historical materials as
well as intensive field research, the contributors show how
local-level mechanisms of labor control and accumulation both
reflect and alter larger political and economic forces. The key to
understanding these connections lies in the structure and exercise
of power at different levels of society.
The approach developed in this volume grows out of a set of
detailed local-level studies in regions that have experienced rapid
technological change and commercialization. This comparative focus
calls into question widely held views of technology and the growth
of markets as the chief sources of agrarian change. By relating
local-level processes to variations in the structure of state
power, the history of agrarian resistance, and the particular forms
of capitalist development, the authors suggest an alternative
approach to the analysis of agrarian change.
