  • ceasefire capitalism military private partnerships resource concessions and military state building in the burma china Borderlands
    The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2011
    Co-Authors: Kevin Woods
    Abstract:

    Since ceasefire agreements were signed between the Burmese military government and ethnic political groups in the Burma–China Borderlands in the early 1990s, violent waves of counterinsurgency development have replaced warfare to target politically-suspect, resource-rich, ethnic populated Borderlands. The Burmese regime allocates land concessions in ceasefire zones as an explicit postwar military strategy to govern land and populations to produce regulated, legible, militarized territory. Tracing the relationship of military–state formation, land control andsecuritization, and primitive accumulation in the Burma–China Borderlands uncovers the forces of what I am calling ‘ceasefire capitalism’. This study examines these processes of Burmese military–state building over the past decade in resource-rich ethnic ceasefire zones along the Yunnan, China border. I will illustrate this contemporary and violent military–state formation process with two case studies focusing on northern Burma: logging and redirected...

  • debordering and everyday re bordering in and of dover post Borderland borderscapes
    Political Geography, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kathryn Cassidy, Nira Yuvaldavis, Georgie Wemyss
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we argue that traditional Borderlands have undergone a rapid transformation in recent decades, as a result of multiscalar de- and rebordering processes. We draw on recent insights from critical border studies to re-examine one of its historical sites of research, Dover in South East England. In doing so, we seek to elucidate what happens in border towns, when de- and re-bordering processes effectively displace key aspects of the border elsewhere. We argue that this shift is critical not only due to the decline of economic opportunities and ties to the border, but also because these necessitate new narratives and understandings or imaginaries amongst Borderlanders. Whilst all elements of the border have not been dispersed, many have materially ‘moved’ elsewhere. We posit that Dover, like other border settlements, has become a post-Borderland borderscape, where we can see evidence of everyday bordering processes similar to those elsewhere in the UK and use a situated, intersectional framework to illustrate the impact that differential social positionings have upon experiences of and perspectives on de-and-reborderings.
