Abstract

Les hauts-plateaux méridionaux du Viêt Nam et du Cambodge connaissent depuis le milieu des années 2000 une forte augmentation des superficies plantées en hévéa. Les booms de l’hévéaculture diffèrent significativement de part et d’autre de la frontière, mais ils sont également étroitement liés dans le contexte d’une intégration régionale des filières et des territoires qui se renforce. Cette transformation est impulsée par le jeu des marchés globalisés et de puissants acteurs étrangers tels que la Chine et la Malaisie, mais les gouvernements nationaux jouent également un rôle important en matière d’accès et d’usage des terres agricoles. L’or blanc et les nouveaux eldorados ne sont pas qu’un enjeu économique ; sont également en jeu les influences et les rapports de force entre les pays de la sous-région du Grand Mékong, à l’image des importantes transactions foncières transnationales. Pour mieux comprendre la transition agraire actuelle impulsée par le boom de l’hévéa, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont tenu à revenir sur l’histoire, l’époque de la colonisation européenne et les expériences socialistes. L’ouvrage analyse également la capacité des populations locales à résister aux pressions des nouveaux arrivants et la compétition que représentent les plantations d’hévéa de grande taille mécanisées.

Abstract

How are the pleasures and thrills of the automobile linked to France’s history of conquest, colonialism, and exploitation in Southeast Asia? Cultural and Literary Representations of the Automobile in French Indochina addresses the contradictions of the “progress” of French colonialism and their consequences through the lens of the automobile. Stéphanie Ponsavady examines the development of transportation systems in French Indochina at the turn of the twentieth century, analyzing archival material and French and Vietnamese literature to critically assess French colonialism. .

Abstract

"Weaving together environmental and social history, David Biggs offers an innovative history of the impact of war on central Vietnam in the long twentieth century, from the imposition of French colonial rule in 1885 to the end of American military involvement in 1973. The long history of conflict around the city of Huế produced belts of degraded lands and village societies deeply marred by the demands of war or periods of conflict. Once military units occupy a space, they change it in physical, legal, and cultural terms so that even long after the troopers leave, their footprints continue to shape patterns of land use and local memories of place. There are tombs, cemeteries, and war monuments; and there are the spaces in between, the subterrains of "wilderness" haunted by ghostlike presences of suspected chemical or munitions hazards. Digging below the surface, one risks being maimed by unexploded ordnance, getting ill from toxic chemical residues, or perhaps worst of all, being haunted by the ghosts of war dead who died violently or did not receive proper burials. Critical to this study are previously little used archives of maps and images created by technologies developed at the same time as the Indochinese wars, 1945 to 1975: aerial photography, high-altitude photography, satellite photography, and satellite-based, multi-band scanning. In this richly illustrated book, author David Biggs uses these new kinds of imagery to reveal the impact of war in the land"--

Abstract

This volume brings together an interdisciplinary team of established and emergent scholars from the disciplines of history, political science and communication studies, to work on a historical reappraisal of Cambodia’s relationships with the West. Chapters examine moments of historical import in Cambodia's history, from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. These include Cambodia’s first contacts with European mercantilism; the establishment of formal French colonialism and commercialism; British peace enforcement and diplomacy after the Second World War; Independence, modernisation and the onset of the Cold War and the United Nations peace process, and the Khmer Rouge genocide tribunal of more recent times. The result is a unique and significant new analysis of some of Cambodia’s most controversial interactions with the West, which demonstrates how far the West has shaped the development of Cambodia in the contemporary epoch. .

Abstract

While there are many prior studies to date on the internal conflicts in Burma, these are mostly focused on the human rights situation within the country. In addition, many previous marked studies, such as works from Thai academics, International Organizations or the World Health Organization, have highlighted the human securities of migrant workers in the destination country whereby the process of migration has already taken place. However, none of them have focused on the phenomenon of migration in relation to perceptions of borders and human security. The lack of study addressing the influence of borders and human securities as the key indicators to people’s migration behaviour supports the significance and relevance of this research.

Abstract

Cambodia has made significant progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to years of impressive economic growth and reforms. Income growth has outpaced peers, poverty has declined, and the economy has begun to gradually diversify. At the same time, elevated financial sector vulnerabilities, development spending needs, and governance weaknesses pose challenges for further advancing sustainable growth and development.

Abstract

Humanitären Notlagen im Ausland begegnen Politik und Gesellschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland regelmäßig mit umfangreichen Hilfsmaßnahmen. Humanitäre Hilfe ist dabei das Ergebnis des Zusammenspiels von unterschiedlichen Akteuren: Bundesregierung, in der Auslandshilfe aktive Wohlfahrtsverbände und zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen sowie schließlich die spendenwillige Bevölkerung kooperieren in unterschiedlichen Konstellationen und gestalten so gemeinsam ein Politikfeld der Außenbeziehungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.0Dieses Politikfeld in seiner heutigen Form hat seinen Ursprung in der westdeutschen humanitären Hilfe für Vietnam während des 'amerikanischen Kriegs' (1965-1973). Vor dem Hintergrund des Kalten Krieges und angesichts der gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre erhielten zivile Opfer der Kämpfe in Südvietnam, auch in den vom Vietkong kontrollierten Gebieten, sowie im sozialistischen Nordvietnam umfangreiche Hilfsleistungen aus der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.0Das zeithistorische Werk zeichnet erstmals anhand umfangreicher, größtenteils bisher nicht veröffentlichter Quellen die gesamte humanitäre Hilfe nach, die die Bundesregierung, die Wohlfahrtsverbände, neu aufgekommene Hilfsorganisationen wie terre des hommes sowie die Protestbewegung gegen den Vietnamkrieg in unterschiedlichen Konstellationen für die zivilen Opfer des Vietnamkriegs leisteten. Im Rahmen der Hilfe wurde beispielsweise ein Hospitalschiff nach Saigon entsandt, ein SOS-Kinderdorf in Südvietnam errichtet, ein Krankenhaus in Nordvietnam aufgebaut oder kranke und verletzte Kinder aus Vietnam zur Heilung oder Adoption in die Bundesrepublik verbracht.
