Abstract

In the previous chapter, the relative roles and interrelationships between village communities and state agencies in the development and management of local infrastructure were investigated in a case study of the national irrigation system covering East Laguna Village. This chapter aims to examine interrelationships between communities and markets in East Laguna Village. In order to shed light on this highly complicated and elusive issue to which little economic analysis has yet been applied, our analysis is concentrated on changes in labour employment contracts for rice harvesting. Common to rural villages in developing economies, labour employment in East Laguna Village has been embedded in traditional community relationships. Clearly visible in changes in harvesting labour contracts are villagers’ efforts to adjust institutions in response to major changes in market conditions under the constraints of their traditional community norms.
