Borderlands have unique<br \/>\nspecificities: they are characterized by cross-border unifying features<br \/>\n(e.g., cross-border kinship or trade networks) as well as by<br \/>\ncross-border differentials (e.g., different labor costs, salaries,<br \/>\netc.), which may become drivers for rapid natural resource use. For<br \/>\ninstance, cross-border social networks are thought to have contributed<br \/>\nto the rapid spread of rubber in northern Laos. Furthermore, borderland<br \/>\nregions are frequently characterized by their remoteness and<br \/>\ninaccessibility, rendering them likely stages of natural resource<br \/>\naccumulation and simultaneous lack of institutional development, both of<br \/>\nwhich may encourage rapid and often illegal natural resource<br \/>\nexploitation. For example, logging bans in Vietnam shifted illegal<br \/>\nlogging activities to borderland forests in Laos \u2013 an example of both<br \/>\nlack of regulatory enforcement and cross-border differentials.<br \/>\nTerritorialization policies by national governments seeking to establish<br \/>\nstate control over remote or contested areas have also contributed to<br \/>\nrapid agricultural transitions in borderland and non-borderland areas.<br \/>\nBans on swiddening or slash and burn aimed, in part, at population<br \/>\ncontrol and land rationalization could be inscribed under the banner of<br \/>\nterritorialization and were key drivers of cash crop expansion in<br \/>\nsecondary tropical and subtropical forests. For all these drivers,<br \/>\nborderlands do not always become the stage of unsustainable natural<br \/>\nresource use. In this presentation, I explore the drivers and<br \/>\n\u201cinhibitors\u201d, characteristics, and pathways involved in natural resource<br \/>\nuse in borderland areas and argue that agency and attitude of the local<br \/>\npopulation and local government are key determinants of (un)sustainable<br \/>\nresource use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date &#038; Time: January 25, Friday, 20\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"3411","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[32,5],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-3411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seminar-en","category-seminar","tag-asean","en-US"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/japan-asean.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/s1_Borderlands-and-unsustainable-natural-resource-use.jpg?fit=1200%2C1697&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s7S1lD-20190125","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3411"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3411"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3423,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3411\/revisions\/3423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/japan-asean\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
