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. \u003ci\u003eTurning Land into Capital\u003c\/i\u003e examines the contradictions produced by superimposing twenty-first-century neoliberal projects onto diverse landscapes etched by decades of war and state socialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Hirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295750464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295750460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Philip Hirsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056735449343,"sku":"9780295750460","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_677bfa06-4464-455c-8b01-a39778e33b62.jpg?v=1685042973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turni-turning-land-into-capital-philip-hirsch-9780295750460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
