| Outline of Research at the Start |
This study examines the transformation of border regions in “emerging economies” in parts of Southeast Asia (SEA) and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), focusing on the interrelatedness of three notions: sovereignty, capitalization, and uncertainty. Given the volatility of global economy and politics, investigating multiple sovereignties created by multiple actors along the borderlands will help shed better light on the margins of both the nation-state system and global capitalism.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study sheds light on how statist and non-statist actors influence one another along borders, amidst the volatile global geopolitics and capitalism. A key achievement was the development of two conceptual frameworks for understanding the "state-and-border economic detriment", challenging the statist studies of the sovereignty-capitalization nexus. Key insights were contributed to: a co-edited book; a peer-reviewed journal article; the Kyodai’s international and annual "Southeast Asia Seminar" and its special issue in an online journal; an international seminar in Kyoto; a presentation in Malaysia; two in-press articles; and four peer-reviewed journal articles by Dr. Xiaobo Hua, our collaborator. Based on this study, we are developing a project to explore an intertwining relation among five notions/phenomena: health, border, marginality, transdisciplinarity, and protracted armed conflict.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Throughout this research period, a series of training for a group of health workers along the Thai-Myanmar border was conducted -- and has continued on afterward, too. Some of these workers have continued to brave themselves to help displaced people inside Burma/Myanmar.
