UNSETTLED FRONTIERS: Market Formation in the Cambodia-Vietnam Borderlands (by Sango Mahanty)

Abstract

My engagement with Cambodia and Vietnam has followed a winding path. I first worked in these two countries between 2005 and 2007. As an analyst with the Bangkok-based Centre for People and Forests, my role was to engage with my Cambodian and Vietnamese counterparts to document early lessons from the community forestry projects that had started to emerge there. The experience sparked my deep interest in this region’s history and challenges. After I joined the Australian National University in 2007, I found opportunities to continue my research there. During 2009–2012, I collaborated with the Vietnamese Institute of Policy and Research in Agriculture and Rural Development to study how craft villages in the Red River Delta were coping with toxic levels of pollution. In 2011 I studied the prospects for community-run timber extraction in Mondulkiri, Cambodia. then, during 2012–2014, I led a collaboration that studied the social entanglements of forest carbon schemes in mainland Southeast Asia (ARC DP120100270), where my field efforts focused on a scheme in Mondulkiri. It was during this last project that I witnessed the dramatic changes sweeping this province, arising from its transborder trading networks and crop booms—especially for cassava. This inspired my more detailed research on crossborder commodity networks, with the support of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (2014–2018, FT130101495).
