\nAquaculture in Bandon Bay, Thailand<\/p>\n
\nHistorical statistics of yields and cultivation areas of blood cockle in Bandon Bay in Surat Thani Province of Thailand from 1980 to 2010 show a sharp fluctuation in production. This research examines
\nthree factors–government policies, environmental changes, and farmer adaptations–that lay behind this fluctuation to understand the interrelationships between the three factors.<\/p>\n
\ndestruction from natural disasters in the late 1980s, large-scale government-sponsored rehabilitation projects and the associated influx of capital significantly further developed aquaculture in a “great leap forward.” Environmental changes and government policies triggered adaptations by farmers that led to an expansion of cultivation into new–\u20ac\u201dand illegal–areas, and a transformation of cultivation from small-scale to the large-scale farmers.<\/p>\n
\nnegotiation and bargaining to resolve the conflicts and therefore have relied on deep connections to the bureaucratic systems rather than relations with each other. From this case it is clear that the
\nhistorical background of these newly constructed locales is critical to understanding the specific characteristics of social organization of southern Thailand.<\/p>\n

\nBody Shape and Social Shows in Thailand, 1957-1973<\/p>\n
\nFashion business and culture in Thailand started maturing during the late 1950s and early 1970s within the context of the expansion of global beauty capitalism. They were driven by the development of textile and entertainment industries, new careers for women, and the boom of social events in the country. Fashion institutions included the official ones such as dress-making schools and the unofficial ones such as women’s and entertainment magazines. Their fashion professionals competently
\nfollowed international fashion trends of the 1950s and 1960s. Modern fashion in Thai society became a space where “sakon” (international) styles met the Thai style, which gave rise to Thai “prayuk”\u20ac fashion.
\nThai women continued to make their own clothing or used the services of a dressmaker. The ready-made industry did not yet replace custom-designed clothing. Some dress experts advised middle-class women
\non how to dress according to certain factors—occasion, season, age, body shape, and career, with a strict emphasis on feminine ideal, appropriateness, and politeness. At the same time, a number of women were actively involved in the ideas of self-realization and improvement through fashion. Fashion shows were performed as social shows, enabling different groups of women to explore themselves in the social arenas, be part of society, and build their social networks among women and with men.<\/p>\n
