As developing countries with recent histories of isolation and
extreme poverty, followed by restoration and reform, both Cambodia
and Vietnam have seen new opportunities and demands for non-state
actors to engage in and manage the effects of rapid socio-economic
transformation. This book examines how in both countries, civil
society actors and the state manage their relationship to one
another in an environment that is continuously shaped and
(re)constructed by changing legislation, collaboration and
negotiation, advocacy and protest, and social control. Further, it
explores the countries' divergent experiences whilst also
uncovering the underlying basis and drivers of civil society
activity that are shared by Cambodia and Vietnam. Crucially, this
book engages with the contested nature of civil society and how it
is socially constructed through research and development
activities, by looking at contemporary discourses and
manifestations of civil society in the two countries, including
national and community-level organisations, associations, and
networks that operate in a variety of sectors, such as gender, the
environment and health. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in
Cambodia and Vietnam, this book will be of huge interest to
students and scholars of Southeast Asian studies, Southeast Asian
politics, development studies and civil society.
This open access book approaches the anxieties inherent in food
consumption and production in Vietnam. The country's rapid and
recent economic integration into global agro-food systems and
consumer markets spurred a new quality of food safety concerns,
health issues and distrust in food distribution networks that have
become increasingly obscured. This edited volume further puts the
eating body centre stage by following how gendered body norms, food
taboos, power structures and social differentiation shape people's
ambivalent relations with food. It uncovers Vietnam's trajectories
of agricultural modernisation against which consumers and producers
manoeuvre amongst food self-sufficiency, security and abundance.
Food Anxiety in Globalising Vietnam is explicitly about 'dangerous'
food - regarding its materiality and meaning. It provides social
science perspectives on anxieties related to food and surrounding
discourses that travel between the local and the global, the
individual and society and into the body. Therefore, the book's
lens of food anxiety matters for social theory and for
understanding the embeddedness and discontinuities of food
globalizations in Vietnam and beyond. Due to its rich empirical
base, methodological approaches and thematic foci, it will appeal
to scholars, practitioners and students alike.
