Land Concessions in Laos & Cambodia

January 14, 3:00pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Crawford Hall, Room 115

---

Over the last decade there has been considerable research conducted about the social and environmental impacts of large-scale land concessions for plantation development in Southeast Asia, including in Laos and Cambodia.

There has only, however, been a limited amount written about different forms of contestation and resistance that have emerged in relation to what is frequently referred to as “land grabbing”.

In this presentation, Ian Baird considers four different examples of resistance to land concessions in southern Laos and northeastern Cambodia, in order to demonstrate how resistance is occurring in various ways, and with different degrees of success.
