    Vietnam

    This paper compares the Hoa Binh (constructed 1979-1994) and Son La dams (under construction since 2005) to investigate how Vietnam’s resettlement policies and programmes have evolved over time. The comparison between a dam built in 1970s-80s and one now under construction shows that improvements in policy may bring only limited improvements in Vietnam’s dam development planning and practices.

    Laos

    The Journal of Lao Studies, Volume 1, Issue 1, pages 1-47. "In this paper I do not argue against farmer livelihood strategies that include either rubber-based or off-farm opportunities. However, the large-scale rubber plantations in Laos are clearly having a massive and rapid impact on landscapes and livelihoods. I want to draw attention specifically to the socio-cultural and economic impacts of the types of rubber development occurring in southern Laos, which I argue are largely benefiting foreign investors and local elites at the expense of most villagers."
