What are the new dynamics of labor struggles against these structural, industrial, and health crises under the expansion of social protection or the lack thereof? How do the state and non-state actors manage recurring and new capitalist crises by reconfiguring labor and social policies? The contributions in this special issue address these questions by engaging with workers' lived experiences across the global south and post-communist states.

This approach deepens tensions and scales up contestations from the border economic zone to the region.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/39983802/Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Hegemony_in_Mekong_Asias_Special_Economic_Zones","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2019-08-01T00:37:40.519-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":false,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":192119,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":60175808,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60175808/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60175808/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60175808/Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l-libre.pdf?1564645336=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMigrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf\u0026Expires=1732793160\u0026Signature=hGxY7g9FQ3rF-B3Pltk9RLVPTURtErEO9I0YJ9s4e6B3AH6nq3-AqSh5y-gcBgHyXypHKXunmVZPTEPT9GBSgndADk~OnE0viXlE~~LsmOVaMd0AZbg67SO23GPcKa1cbT4-GLit9pyr54vmwJIa7JFbicssklnfRmerOyLRIky~Y-MAMWkH8JvgB9zXQcP-WpHyz7IsdI1xKHvMq24oKhpI-todg2q0Y-1zXvSem8qyTxnCI2QuyJVmt1yECt2tCq8tWUo0QcZmQuiIKC9GoPG9A57sR0iub0iAwDylTfhUeQ46q7WomsWv5zVxUgomJZjTTo5-TFVntCX-gPlaMw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Hegemony_in_Mekong_Asias_Special_Economic_Zones","translated_slug":"","page_count":21,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":192119,"first_name":"Dennis","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Arnold","page_name":"DennisArnold","domain_name":"uva","created_at":"2010-05-26T07:21:09.403-07:00","display_name":"Dennis Arnold","url":"https://uva.academia.edu/DennisArnold"},"attachments":[{"id":60175808,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60175808/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60175808/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60175808/Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l-libre.pdf?1564645336=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMigrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf\u0026Expires=1732793160\u0026Signature=hGxY7g9FQ3rF-B3Pltk9RLVPTURtErEO9I0YJ9s4e6B3AH6nq3-AqSh5y-gcBgHyXypHKXunmVZPTEPT9GBSgndADk~OnE0viXlE~~LsmOVaMd0AZbg67SO23GPcKa1cbT4-GLit9pyr54vmwJIa7JFbicssklnfRmerOyLRIky~Y-MAMWkH8JvgB9zXQcP-WpHyz7IsdI1xKHvMq24oKhpI-todg2q0Y-1zXvSem8qyTxnCI2QuyJVmt1yECt2tCq8tWUo0QcZmQuiIKC9GoPG9A57sR0iub0iAwDylTfhUeQ46q7WomsWv5zVxUgomJZjTTo5-TFVntCX-gPlaMw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":29,"name":"Industrial And Labor Relations","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Industrial_And_Labor_Relations"},{"id":1031,"name":"Southeast Asian Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Southeast_Asian_Studies"},{"id":6814,"name":"Cambodia","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cambodia"},{"id":10096,"name":"Thailand","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thailand"},{"id":14730,"name":"Migration Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Migration_Studies"},{"id":15264,"name":"Work and Labour","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Work_and_Labour"},{"id":24879,"name":"Hegemony","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hegemony"},{"id":53953,"name":"Myanmar","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Myanmar"},{"id":75324,"name":"Economic Corridors in Mekong Subregion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Corridors_in_Mekong_Subregion"},{"id":78376,"name":"Special Economic Zones","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Special_Economic_Zones"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The first has highlighted the unsuccessful transition of peasant smallholders into wage workers, whose incomes and employment benefits, it was once argued, would both satisfy their social reproduction needs and allow for expanded consumption. As a consequence of this apparently 'stalled transition' a contradiction has emerged between modernisation theory's valorisation of wage labour/full employment, and the precarious reality of work and un/underemployment in contemporary capitalism. The second critique to emerge has focused on the failure of numerous late industrialising economies to transition from low to high value-added manufacturing. In the face of this latter failure of the modernisation project, governments and non-governmental advisers have sought to adapt their strategies to more effectively regulate growth in low value-added accumulation. Among the more prominent illustrations of such adaptive responses, international financial institutions and development think-tanks have advocated expanded forms of spatially regulated industrialisation—including export processing zones, industrial corridors and integrated subregions, of which the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is a prominent example. There is, however, limited evidence to date that the promise of well-remu-nerated wage labour is likely to be realised anytime soon. The evident contradiction between the promise and the reality of contemporary development strategies has led to disillusionment with industrial and other forms of waged and non-waged work. As a result, growing frictions at the point of production and beyond have emerged, exposing tensions and fissures in development models across the Mekong region.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/37633951/Capitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southeast_Asia","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2018-10-23T06:51:15.167-07:00","section":"Articles","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":false,"current_user_is_owner":false,"owner_id":192119,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":31982496,"work_id":37633951,"tagging_user_id":192119,"tagged_user_id":10426042,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"k***a@gmail.com","affiliation":"Nanyang Technological University","display_order":1,"name":"Stephen Campbell","title":"Capitalist Trajectories in Mekong Southeast Asia"}],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":57618917,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/57618917/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"EJEAS_Arnold-Campbell_proof-final.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57618917/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Capitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southe.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/57618917/EJEAS_Arnold-Campbell_proof-final-libre.pdf?1540303081=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCapitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southe.pdf\u0026Expires=1732780168\u0026Signature=JmkVvMaBtaNpD33FQtVDtZkFs4Gff-2~JdwPnE9v1TP-o3sqlnnJTExIIOR0TT71tU-UG~woVzvczZXWNMWCaaZl3GNpzoFM6Ak5LPLyLWg6XKOZuO2yeLlFx3I9yao1~Lf3gLxm11dsv7TcGrZqObD5Y5vgnTkZSV~RzwFonowlHkD4Dw0cipTk7PayAktJ2tEjyz9hCSdvoHj6~6SUSC1xDt9-RdJrwauUIVRAMFdLaX-uA6PMatTywm7LJEy6OCL6tcC6qppcStVhI3EjLvX~LCoartn44hvM-7aTT-1df1iCSBLT35UbLOrbWmTUp2PGUMMQz778fZo5zBp4NA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Capitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southeast_Asia","translated_slug":"","page_count":11,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":192119,"first_name":"Dennis","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Arnold","page_name":"DennisArnold","domain_name":"uva","created_at":"2010-05-26T07:21:09.403-07:00","display_name":"Dennis Arnold","url":"https://uva.academia.edu/DennisArnold","email":"YkZnT1J0Z1JCaFUzb0FzdjJJc3U5Yk02d2RwRC9CdEI0aVBROGUwVzVnZnpSWHhUVE4vQnR1d3BxTTdxSG1qWi0tSXd1bmJHcTlIVXR5Q2lHRVQzZzk0QT09--eff4763b493d9e99d42074cc6746e5b03a03e91e"},"attachments":[{"id":57618917,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/57618917/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"EJEAS_Arnold-Campbell_proof-final.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57618917/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Capitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southe.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/57618917/EJEAS_Arnold-Campbell_proof-final-libre.pdf?1540303081=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DCapitalist_Trajectories_in_Mekong_Southe.pdf\u0026Expires=1732780168\u0026Signature=JmkVvMaBtaNpD33FQtVDtZkFs4Gff-2~JdwPnE9v1TP-o3sqlnnJTExIIOR0TT71tU-UG~woVzvczZXWNMWCaaZl3GNpzoFM6Ak5LPLyLWg6XKOZuO2yeLlFx3I9yao1~Lf3gLxm11dsv7TcGrZqObD5Y5vgnTkZSV~RzwFonowlHkD4Dw0cipTk7PayAktJ2tEjyz9hCSdvoHj6~6SUSC1xDt9-RdJrwauUIVRAMFdLaX-uA6PMatTywm7LJEy6OCL6tcC6qppcStVhI3EjLvX~LCoartn44hvM-7aTT-1df1iCSBLT35UbLOrbWmTUp2PGUMMQz778fZo5zBp4NA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":802,"name":"Political Economy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Economy"},{"id":1031,"name":"Southeast Asian Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Southeast_Asian_Studies"},{"id":15264,"name":"Work and Labour","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Work_and_Labour"}],"urls":[{"id":8613747,"url":"http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/10.1163/15700615-01702002"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Workers’ agency is examined through a case study of a large-scale  strike in September 2010 over national minimum wage negotiations, led by two Cambodian trade union federations. Analysis is centred on four structural impediments to workers’ wage demands. First, the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) consolidated power in 2008. As a result, space for independent trade unions and civil society is decreasing. Second, Cambodia is not deemed ‘competitive’ as a global sourcing option in terms of price, quality and speed to market. As a result, low wages and a proliferation of unmonitored subcontract factories are increasingly becoming the industry’s competitive advantage vis-à-vis Bangladesh and Vietnam. Third, the proliferation of fixed-duration contracts in Cambodia means work is less secure, with attendant impacts on workers and unions’ negotiating strength. And fourth, the unusually high number of plant-level and national trade union federations makes it difficult for ‘genuine’ unions to promote the rights of their members, and workers’ agency potential is marginalized. The intersection of these four structural forces circumscribes workers and independent trade unions’ ability to rework power relations with the employers association, the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC). Despite the challenges, workers and independent unions recognize themselves as the agents who must shape key demands, including on wages.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2cd240e9feb2a953da8ca21443edf5af" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":30833912,"asset_id":2908591,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/30833912/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="2908591"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="2908591"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2908591; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2908591]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2908591]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2908591; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='2908591']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2908591, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "2cd240e9feb2a953da8ca21443edf5af" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=2908591]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":2908591,"title":"Workers’ agency and re-working power relations in Cambodia’s garment industry","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This paper explores Cambodian garment factory workers’ collective voice and ability to negotiate a living wage.

Border SEZs in Mekong Southeast Asia","grobid_abstract":"Literature on special economic zones (SEZs) has made important contributions to our understanding of globalization and topics including labor rights, export-led development outcomes, and postsocialist experiments with market economies. Less understood is the geopolitics of contemporary economic zones. This article focuses on border economies and state activity regarding territorial integrity and regulation of migrant labor. The case studies in Cambodia and Thailand demonstrate that SEZs reflect, reinforce and expand states' reach, rather than prove exception to broader national orders of power. This understanding of contemporary SEZs enhances research agendas on state practices vis-à-vis the 'imperatives' of global economic integration and geopolitics. The changing role of SEZs in economic globalization reveals the complexity of state spatial practices.","publication_name":"Geography Compass 6/12 (2012):

Insecure work and changing social protections orbit around one another, yet this precariousness is managed through new, worker-initiated support

Polanyi, meanwhile, does not focus attention on the power of capitalist hegemony, yet his displacement of experience from production to exchange creates the grounds for a potential counterhegemony. The article analyzes how, despite apparent efforts to de-commodify labor and social protections, precarity has become more deeply engrained among the laboring poor.

This approach deepens tensions and scales up contestations from the border economic zone to the region.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/39983802/Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Hegemony_in_Mekong_Asias_Special_Economic_Zones","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2019-08-01T00:37:40.519-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":false,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":192119,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":60175808,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60175808/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60175808/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60175808/Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l-libre.pdf?1564645336=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMigrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf\u0026Expires=1732793160\u0026Signature=hGxY7g9FQ3rF-B3Pltk9RLVPTURtErEO9I0YJ9s4e6B3AH6nq3-AqSh5y-gcBgHyXypHKXunmVZPTEPT9GBSgndADk~OnE0viXlE~~LsmOVaMd0AZbg67SO23GPcKa1cbT4-GLit9pyr54vmwJIa7JFbicssklnfRmerOyLRIky~Y-MAMWkH8JvgB9zXQcP-WpHyz7IsdI1xKHvMq24oKhpI-todg2q0Y-1zXvSem8qyTxnCI2QuyJVmt1yECt2tCq8tWUo0QcZmQuiIKC9GoPG9A57sR0iub0iAwDylTfhUeQ46q7WomsWv5zVxUgomJZjTTo5-TFVntCX-gPlaMw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Hegemony_in_Mekong_Asias_Special_Economic_Zones","translated_slug":"","page_count":21,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":192119,"first_name":"Dennis","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Arnold","page_name":"DennisArnold","domain_name":"uva","created_at":"2010-05-26T07:21:09.403-07:00","display_name":"Dennis Arnold","url":"https://uva.academia.edu/DennisArnold"},"attachments":[{"id":60175808,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60175808/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60175808/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc4OTU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Migrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60175808/Arnold-2019-Migrant__mobilizations_SEZs20190801-4547-mkea4l-libre.pdf?1564645336=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMigrants_Mobilizations_and_Selective_Heg.pdf\u0026Expires=1732793160\u0026Signature=hGxY7g9FQ3rF-B3Pltk9RLVPTURtErEO9I0YJ9s4e6B3AH6nq3-AqSh5y-gcBgHyXypHKXunmVZPTEPT9GBSgndADk~OnE0viXlE~~LsmOVaMd0AZbg67SO23GPcKa1cbT4-GLit9pyr54vmwJIa7JFbicssklnfRmerOyLRIky~Y-MAMWkH8JvgB9zXQcP-WpHyz7IsdI1xKHvMq24oKhpI-todg2q0Y-1zXvSem8qyTxnCI2QuyJVmt1yECt2tCq8tWUo0QcZmQuiIKC9GoPG9A57sR0iub0iAwDylTfhUeQ46q7WomsWv5zVxUgomJZjTTo5-TFVntCX-gPlaMw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":29,"name":"Industrial And Labor Relations","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Industrial_And_Labor_Relations"},{"id":1031,"name":"Southeast Asian Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Southeast_Asian_Studies"},{"id":6814,"name":"Cambodia","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cambodia"},{"id":10096,"name":"Thailand","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thailand"},{"id":14730,"name":"Migration Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Migration_Studies"},{"id":15264,"name":"Work and Labour","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Work_and_Labour"},{"id":24879,"name":"Hegemony","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hegemony"},{"id":53953,"name":"Myanmar","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Myanmar"},{"id":75324,"name":"Economic Corridors in Mekong Subregion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Corridors_in_Mekong_Subregion"},{"id":78376,"name":"Special Economic Zones","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Special_Economic_Zones"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The first has highlighted the unsuccessful transition of peasant smallholders into wage workers, whose incomes and employment benefits, it was once argued, would both satisfy their social reproduction needs and allow for expanded consumption. As a consequence of this apparently 'stalled transition' a contradiction has emerged between modernisation theory's valorisation of wage labour/full employment, and the precarious reality of work and un/underemployment in contemporary capitalism. The second critique to emerge has focused on the failure of numerous late industrialising economies to transition from low to high value-added manufacturing. In the face of this latter failure of the modernisation project, governments and non-governmental advisers have sought to adapt their strategies to more effectively regulate growth in low value-added accumulation. Among the more prominent illustrations of such adaptive responses, international financial institutions and development think-tanks have advocated expanded forms of spatially regulated industrialisation—including export processing zones, industrial corridors and integrated subregions, of which the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is a prominent example. There is, however, limited evidence to date that the promise of well-remu-nerated wage labour is likely to be realised anytime soon. The evident contradiction between the promise and the reality of contemporary development strategies has led to disillusionment with industrial and other forms of waged and non-waged work. As a result, growing frictions at the point of production and beyond have emerged, exposing tensions and fissures in development models across the Mekong region.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0e501973072487e334b056c85cd35ef3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":57618917,"asset_id":37633951,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57618917/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="37633951"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="37633951"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37633951; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=37633951]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=37633951]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 37633951; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='37633951']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 37633951, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "0e501973072487e334b056c85cd35ef3" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=37633951]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":37633951,"title":"Capitalist Trajectories in Mekong Southeast Asia","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.1163/15700615-01702002","issue":"2","volume":"17","abstract":"Recent scholarship on labour and development in the global South has renewed critiques of modernisation theory along two main lines.

The first has highlighted the unsuccessful transition of peasant smallholders into wage workers, whose incomes and employment benefits, it was once argued, would both satisfy their social reproduction needs and allow for expanded consumption. As a consequence of this apparently 'stalled transition' a contradiction has emerged between modernisation theory's valorisation of wage labour/full employment, and the precarious reality of work and un/underemployment in contemporary capitalism. The second critique to emerge has focused on the failure of numerous late industrialising economies to transition from low to high value-added manufacturing. In the face of this latter failure of the modernisation project, governments and non-governmental advisers have sought to adapt their strategies to more effectively regulate growth in low value-added accumulation.

Workers’ agency is examined through a case study of a large-scale  strike in September 2010 over national minimum wage negotiations, led by two Cambodian trade union federations. Analysis is centred on four structural impediments to workers’ wage demands. First, the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) consolidated power in 2008. As a result, space for independent trade unions and civil society is decreasing. Second, Cambodia is not deemed ‘competitive’ as a global sourcing option in terms of price, quality and speed to market. As a result, low wages and a proliferation of unmonitored subcontract factories are increasingly becoming the industry’s competitive advantage vis-à-vis Bangladesh and Vietnam. Third, the proliferation of fixed-duration contracts in Cambodia means work is less secure, with attendant impacts on workers and unions’ negotiating strength. And fourth, the unusually high number of plant-level and national trade union federations makes it difficult for ‘genuine’ unions to promote the rights of their members, and workers’ agency potential is marginalized. The intersection of these four structural forces circumscribes workers and independent trade unions’ ability to rework power relations with the employers association, the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC). Despite the challenges, workers and independent unions recognize themselves as the agents who must shape key demands, including on wages.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2cd240e9feb2a953da8ca21443edf5af" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":30833912,"asset_id":2908591,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/30833912/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="2908591"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="2908591"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2908591; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2908591]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2908591]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2908591; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='2908591']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2908591, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "2cd240e9feb2a953da8ca21443edf5af" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=2908591]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":2908591,"title":"Workers’ agency and re-working power relations in Cambodia’s garment industry","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This paper explores Cambodian garment factory workers’ collective voice and ability to negotiate a living wage.

Border SEZs in Mekong Southeast Asia","grobid_abstract":"Literature on special economic zones (SEZs) has made important contributions to our understanding of globalization and topics including labor rights, export-led development outcomes, and postsocialist experiments with market economies. Less understood is the geopolitics of contemporary economic zones. This article focuses on border economies and state activity regarding territorial integrity and regulation of migrant labor. The case studies in Cambodia and Thailand demonstrate that SEZs reflect, reinforce and expand states' reach, rather than prove exception to broader national orders of power. This understanding of contemporary SEZs enhances research agendas on state practices vis-à-vis the 'imperatives' of global economic integration and geopolitics. The changing role of SEZs in economic globalization reveals the complexity of state spatial practices.","publication_name":"Geography Compass 6/12 (2012):

neoliberal.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/695207/Global_Work_Surplus_Labor_and_the_Precarious_Economies_of_the_Border","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2011-06-25T23:09:49.140-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":false,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":192119,"coauthors_can_edit":false,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":30301767,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/30301767/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Arnold_and_Pickles_Antipode_Oct_2011.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/30301767/download_file?st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc4OTU2Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Global_Work_Surplus_Labor_and_the_Precar.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/30301767/Arnold_and_Pickles_Antipode_Oct_2011-libre.pdf?1390883579=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGlobal_Work_Surplus_Labor_and_the_Precar.pdf\u0026Expires=1732793162\u0026Signature=fZr6Z8IDs5sBD4DwDVAAqSkSGHLPXgOa7AO97XPUp03q0lHWKsamllJoNahjlfjaBWmCs9KkzX-d-6dgO2SJ-3oQOu-XuMCGoynBlM7GJ7kQUM55mUSVouQwIoRQaQhgAj53Bqfcfrcr2s2-u-blL5PXRv2kwMXtpAsTxVi1qgYMnYPdlmGy1-AeDmf0r04UMWGr2jHzd2SHAEN-6TfQkGxV5k2j7k95XywMyQZDAWCXuYF0Mck0CFCTQggVKGoQ9IWQ43a6OeSr430yKW~89hqSDAju6K70m625xu0F8oxxf6NPoZmnviLaOB66r9UnpCT1ZOEHoiXYeHqVmTsKPQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Global_Work_Surplus_Labor_and_the_Precarious_Economies_of_the_Border","translated_slug":"","page_count":27,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":192119,"first_name":"Dennis","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Arnold","page_name":"DennisArnold","domain_name":"uva","created_at":"2010-05-26T07:21:09.403-07:00","display_name":"Dennis

This historical precedent has contributed to much discussion around zones and other geographically delimited political economic spaces as 'islands' or 'archipelagos' acting as globalisation footholds in diverse political economic settings and historical eras. More generally, the shared understanding among academics has been that Free Ports, EPZs, and SEZs were and are 'exceptional' political economic spaces varyingly separate from the 'normal' functions of national political economies and related national sovereignty concerns. With the WTO-led erosion of liberalization restricting policies, the legal 'appeal' of zones is nearly a thing of the past. Yet the number and type of zones have proliferated exponentially in recent decades and SEZs, which are increasingly linked up within wider economic corridors, are still regarded as keys to successful regional and national development. At the same time, the extended and deepening reach of the circuits of capital has evidently 'normalized' aggravated exploitation, gendered divisions of labor, and labor informalization across much of the global economy.
