An Anthropological Study on Spatial Governance and Ethnic Relations：Focusing on Southeast Asia

ID: jrp000286

This project aims to understand the relations between the people who have lived on the periphery/outside of the state governance (such as sea nomads, shifting cultivators, etc.) and other ethnic groups by focusing on their economic activities. Specifically, it centers on the comparison of relations in different economic systems: the subsistence economy, where goods are produced and consumed within a local community; the exchange economy/trading, where inter-group ties are established in ways that are not replaceable with others; the market economy, which has often been expanded with capitalism. On this basis, from the perspective of the people who have lived in places that are increasingly affected by spatial governance: seas, estuaries, coasts, and remote mountains, we examine their relations with other (ethnic) groups, such as national majorities.
