Recent changes in the global economy and in Southeast Asian
national political economies have led to new forms of commodity
production and new commodities. Using insights from political
economy and commodity studies, the essays in Taking Southeast Asia
to Market trace the myriad ways recent alignments among producers,
distributors, and consumers are affecting people and nature
throughout the region. In case studies ranging from coffee and
hardwood products to mushroom pickers and Vietnamese factory
workers, the authors detail the Southeast Asian articulations of
these processes while also discussing the broader implications of
these shifts. Taken together, the cases show how commodities
illuminate the convergence of changing social forces in Southeast
Asia today, as they transform the terms, practices, and experiences
of everyday life and politics in the global economy.
