In Southeast Asia reversals of earlier agrarian reforms have rolled
back "land-to-the-tiller" policies created in the wake of Cold
War-era revolutions. This trend, marked by increased land
concentration and the promotion of export-oriented agribusiness at
the expense of smallholder farmers, exposes the convergence of
capitalist relations and state agendas that expand territorial
control within and across national borders. Turning Land into
Capital examines the contradictions produced by superimposing
twenty-first-century neoliberal projects onto diverse landscapes
etched by decades of war and state socialism. Chapters in the book
explore geopolitics, legacies of colonialism, ideologies of
development, and strategies to achieve land justice in Cambodia,
Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The resulting picture reveals
the place-specific interactions of state and market ideologies,
regional geopolitics, and local elites in concentrating control
over land.
