This paper seeks to make a critical contribution to the developing policy environment by examining the attitude of sex workers towards AIDS in three different work contexts in a small town in the southeastern part of Yunnan Province, an area that has been the center of China s emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic. By assessing how sex workers understand and interpret the meaning of HIV/AIDS and take measures to prevent infections in light of the local social and political context, this study seeks to build on and improve existing prevention efforts. 0.0.

Lao Bao Special Economic and Commercial Area (SECA) was launched in the early 2000s, in a quest to create an attractive investment environment in the Lao Bao area in Central Vietnam, to expand markets and strengthen economic and commercial cooperation with neighboring countries, and ultimately to boost the socio-economic development of the area. This paper aims to explore the actual and potential effects of the SECA on trade and investment flows, as well as on household employment, income levels and welfare within the region. 0.0.

This working paper investigates the archaeological vestiges of the Champa and Angkorian civilizations that remain in northeast Cambodia, southern Laos and central Vietnam, tracing the interconnections between these two important Southeast Asian civilizations. The author proposes that interactions between these two empires greatly affected their development and decline, and that while interest has previously focused on the sea-routes that existed between Champa (on the Vietnamese coast) and Angkor (around Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia), this research explores the little researched overland routes that existed between the two empires. 0.0.

The study reveals the socio-economic impacts that occurred in the Mekong Delta despite the Vietnam government s well-meaning interventions for preventing salinity intrusion and improving agriculture production. Forced by the needs of food security in the early 1990s, the Vietnam government constructed a series of embankments and sluices along the coast of Camau Peninsula, including Bac Lieu province in the Mekong Delta, to prevent salinity and maintain the flow of fresh water into the Hau river (a branch of the Mekong river). The government expected that farmers could intensify their production of rice and thereby improve their livelihoods in these areas protected from salinity. However, farmers who cultivated rice in acid sulfate soil areas suffered serious crop failures. The shift toward rice production also came at the expense of a fall in the production of aquatic products, both from the breeding of shrimp in brackish waters in the fields and the catching of fish in the canals.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 56 pp., illustrations, bibliography. Since 1983, China s attempts at market-driven economic growth through agricultural reforms and tourism are resulting in the transformation of traditional use and tenure of land and forest. As the market economy encounters the largely subsistence-based economies of the rural mountain areas, increased commercialisation of non-timber forest products for outside markets is placing pressures on rural livelihoods and natural resources. The study explores these changes in the Jinuo and Dai ethnic peoples living in the upland mountains of Yunnan province in southwestern China to understand the social implications of this livelihood transformation: changing gender identification in the collection and harvest of non-timber forest products; and, the social networks hidden in non-timber forest products barter system or the Laogen network - a social relationship based on friendship among members of the Jinuo and Dai peoples. 0.0.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 65 pp., illustrations, maps, bibliography. Institutional analysis emerged as the central focus of natural resource management research in the last decade, due to its ability to reflect complicated and sophisticated human-nature relationships. Through two illuminating case studies from northern Thailand, characterized by cultural diversification which contain different levels of customary institutions with varying power structures and agendas, this study shows the tensions, challenges and opportunities of institutional adaptation for community-based natural resource management(CBNRM). Motivations and capacity building related to institutional sustainability were analysed under the context of changing environments and cultural diversification. This paper suggests that, regardless of the different characteristics emerging in the institutionalization of local mobilizations, the improvements in CBNRM require integrating local institutions into the institutional development framework as a whole. These institutional arrangements should help to keep a balance between the national interest and the local people's concerns associated with their culture, livelihoods, rights and capacities. 0.0.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 51 pp., illustrations, bibliography. Changes resulting from renovation policy (doi moi) in 1986 in Vietnam lead to reinvention of public religious life through official permission, thus providing space for a revival of ancestral worship ceremony in royal temples of Nguyen Phuc clan who were once royalty in Vietnamese monarchical society from 1802-1945. Especially after UNESCO's proclamation of Hue as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1993, many local cultural forms have been revived and portrayed as a representation of Hue identity by state agencies for tourism. Many forms of royal culture such as architecture, art, costumes, cuisine and royal ceremonies were renewed and highlighted as representative of Hue culture. From the perspective of clan members, the rituals of Nguyen Phuc clan in royal temples are unlikely to be performed for tourists. However, tourists remain a significant force in the process of negotiation of Nguyen Phuc clan and the revival of ritual ceremony as well as the expression of their identity. 0.0.

Since 1996, the Government of Lao PDR has implemented the Land and Forestland Allocation (LFA) policy throughout the country to increase farmers' land tenure security, encourage involvement in intensive farming to improve livelihoods, and to protect natural resources. The study examines the implementation of the LFA in two rural communities and finds that, conversely, the LFA programme is leading to the increased loss of forests. Many farmers without the adequate resources to meet the investment required for intensive farming in the short three-year period required by the LFA policy are being forced to clear the surrounding forests to obtain money by sale of timber. The study suggests recommendations for improvement of the LFA programme as well as for other rural development policy in the future including providing more secure rights to agricultural and forestlands as well as better quality land for maintaining rural farming livelihoods. 0.0.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 38 pp., illustrations, bibliography. The paper draws on Shan immigrant community in Chiang Mai, Thailand, who form nearly one sixth of Chiang Mai's population. Shan popular music and the VCDs and cassettes are cultural forms that spill across Burma's borders and are consumed widely by Shan migrants living in Thailand. The paper explores circumstances of particular groups of audiences in order to illustrate the complexity of the ways in which people construct, remember, and lay claim to particular concepts such as "homeland" and "nation" through the consumption of popular music. It also examines "migrant public spheres" in the city of Chiang Mai through observation of festivals and cultural ceremonies that take place throughout the year for the Shan migrants. A reading of Shan festivals reflects the social lives of its participants, and the dynamic between capital, the state and a disempowered migrant group. 0.0.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 58 pp., illustrations, bibliography. Forest devolution policies in Vietnam were implemented in the early 1990's under which the government transferred management power over forestland, previously controlled by state enterprises or local authorities, to local households with a belief that they would improve local livelihoods for the upland poor and stabilize forest cover. The paper examines impacts of the devolution policies among villagers in two Dao villages in northern Vietnam. The policies put emphasis on forest protection rather than local needs, causing conflicts between local people and local state agencies. Individual rights over the forest often come with stringent obligations that restrict the villagers' rights in using forestland. At the local level, implementation of devolution policies is strongly influenced by local power relations; local elites obtain almost all benefits from the policies. It also suggests that in order to understand the uplands in Vietnam and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, we need to go beyond the notion of a property rights system and study other mechanisms that play roles in determining on-the-ground villager access to and control over natural resources. 0.0.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 37 pp., illustrations, bibliography. The trade in Hmong clothing is transnational in nature, and involves the participation of Hmong and non-Hmong people from China, Thailand and Laos. This study investigates the importance of ethnic affiliation in the organization of the Hmong clothing trade network, and the changes that have taken place within the ethnic groups involved as their cultures have become capitalized . As a result, this paper addresses many important issues such as the roles assigned to the different ethnic groups, how they cooperate with each other, how their profits are distributed, the different perspectives held by the actors involved, and the impacts the clothing trade has had on the Hmong communities and their culture. To explore these issues, this study follows the trade route for Hmong clothing, and examines the processes through which Hmong textiles have become commercialized. By using this approach, this study situates the changes taking place in the relevant ethnic cultures, within the broader context of globalization and modernization.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 46 pp., illustrations, bibliography. This paper describes cultural and religious festivals and events in an impoverished urban Yangon mixed-ethnicity neighborhood where Buddhists and Hindus reside together. This community lives in cramped quarters, the residents largely earn their livings in the informal sector, and the provision of public services is largely neglected. In the neighborhood, there is a sizable community of Indian people who are mostly devotees of Hinduism. They are able to perform and participate in their own cultural and religious practices and live peacefully with their Buddhist neighbors. They have representatives in the township administration and space available in the neighborhood including religious halls and the concrete pavement which they use for communal activities and everyday practices. The neighborhood celebrates a number of communal festivals and events from both religious traditions. These include Buddhist events like the Neiban-zay festival and novitation and ordination ceremonies for monks, as well as Hindu events like a sword-ladder climbing festival and Navratri. These communal occasions are driven by the religious beliefs and cultural practices of the two dominant faith groups. This paper shows how these occasions bring social benefits to the people, including community pride and the strengthening of relationships among its residents.
