Labour flexibility in export horticulture: a case study of northeast Brazilian grape production

This article analyses the nature and extent of labour flexibility, defined as lack of permanent and secure employment contracts, within an emerging export horticulture sector in northeast Brazil. Whilst much has been written about flexible employment systems in agriculture, it is important to show exactly why, how, and to what extent these systems are flexible, and conversely, what kinds of strategies and practices are available to workers to ameliorate their conditions within such systems. This article illustrates how a combination of processes – farms' ability to produce two harvests per annum, northern retailers' increasing demands for product quality, employers' requirements for relatively skilled labour, and workers' ability to organise and extract concessions from employers – contribute, within the conditions of the São Francisco valley, to specific labour regimes and forms of labour flexibility.     

The use of mindfulness to promote ethical decision making and behavior: Empirical evidence from the public sector in Thailand

The study has two main purposes. First, the study explores core ethical values and behaviors from the perspective of Thai public service organizational leaders. Second, the study investigates the extent to which public sector leaders in Thailand consider Buddhist-based mindfulness practice to be a potentially effective mechanism for reinforcing core ethical values and behaviors in the public sector in Thailand. Using interview data derived from in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 senior public sector officials in Thailand, the analysis elicits four dimensions of core ethical values and behaviors that are perceived by Thai public service organizational leaders as central to ethical behavior in the public sector. The study also sheds light on the interviewees' positive perceptions towards mindfulness and the role its associated practices can play in promoting ethical decision making and behavior in the public sector in Thailand.     

泰国：2013年回顾与2014年展望

2013年10月底起,泰国再度爆发大规模反政府示威活动,迫使英拉总理解散国会下议院,并计划于2014年2月2日举行新大选。受到全球经济复苏放缓、政局动荡、国内消费下降等因素的影响,泰国经济2013年出现倒退,全年国内生产总值增长率为2.9%,低于政府的预期。外交方面,与周边国家的友好关系得到深化,区域及国际合作有所加强。     

饭稻羹鱼与粿条肴糅--泰人接触羹食文化的历史分析

泰人在不同历史时期接触并从汉人的饮食文化中引进了羹食文化,泰语中的汉语借词是其体现。传统泰式餐食——味重的kaeng33饭,源于上古到先秦时期中原汉人与南方百越民族的接触,受中原汉民族配菜羹食的影响。泰语 kaeng33是上古的借词,借自汉语“羹”,清淡kaeng33食则源于汉唐以降中原汉族的羹食之糁食法的演变和汤食文化的传播。 kao33lao24借自汉代中原话“肴糅”,kuai24tiao24是宋以后潮汕移民带进暹罗的“粿条”。     

Is Irrigationalism a Dominant Ideology in Securing Hydrotopia in Mekong Nation States?

ABSTRACT

For over six decades, grandiose proposals calling for significant expansion of public irrigation schemes have been commonplace throughout the Mekong region, irrespective of the political configuration or developmental stage of each state. From Pol Pot’s Democratic Kampuchea to Thailand’s military and quasi-democratic regimes, irrigation has figured prominently on development agendas. Mainstream narratives around irrigation are embedded in a technocentric, developmental and nationalistic discourse, incorporating socially pre-conditioned beliefs and values that closely reflect the rhetoric of state-linked elites. This article critically examines some of the narratives employed by key actors and groups to justify ongoing practices and processes of irrigation development, focusing on Thailand and Cambodia. It seeks to look beyond conventional econometric and instrumental drivers, to consider other socio-political factors that may account for irrigation’s critical role as a “technology of control,” but which are rarely examined across comparative national contexts. Further, it proposes a dominant ideology of irrigation developmentalism or “irrigationalism” as a useful concept in explaining certain aspects of contemporary social power in these nations. State-led irrigation may be perceived as a utopian intervention that aids in the emergence of an effective monopolistic authority and control by bureaucracies and other powerful groups over development decision-making processes and silencing opposition.     

Navigating Small-Scale Trade Across Thai-Lao Border Checkpoints: Legitimacy,Social Relations and Money

ABSTRACT

Marked in part by a narrow river, the border between the neighbouring provinces of Loei in Thailand and Sayaboury in the Lao PDR appears to be porous and unregulated. While a Friendship Bridge regulates large-scale international trade, an extensive amount of informal, small-scale trade continues to flow across smaller checkpoints and other parts of the river. Trade along these sites is not only highly organised, most of it also happens under the gaze of border officials. This article examines the material and power exchanges that occur at local checkpoints between the different actors involved in the facilitation and restriction of trade. Between Loei and Sayaboury, trade is regulated according to a spectrum of licitness that is constantly negotiated and renegotiated between traders and officials. Negotiations rely on the social relations between these actors and involve practices of gift-giving and bribery, which blur the boundaries between reciprocity and corruption. By focusing on the interactions between state and non-state actors, this article sheds light on the way the informal economy is configured by checkpoint politics.

加快制度创新完善东北老工业基地的要素市场

振兴东北老工业基地,是党中央、国务院继建设沿海经济特区、开发浦东新区和实施西部大开发战略之后又一重大战略举措。目前,东北经济的所有制结构仍以国有经济为主。国有经济在产品、价格等方面已进入了市场,但在深层的产权、资本、技术、人力等生产要素上,却未能与时俱进。东北地区的要素市场化程度低,特别是劳动力市场发育程度处于全国最低水平,这种状况已严重制约着东北的发展。因此,制度创新在降低东北要素市场交易费用中具有重要作用,只有强制性的制度供给才能改变东北地区制度供给不足的局面,才能真正提高东北劳动力市场、土地市场、资本市场、技术市场的市场化程度,实现东北老工业基地的振兴。     

2011年大选之后的泰国

泰国2011年大选前的政治格局与他信时期相比并没有太大的改变,因此,完全没有政治经验的英拉的上台也就不会令人感到太意外。但如上届政府一样,英拉上台后面临重重困难。外交方面,英拉政府则表现出色,在短短的时间内构建了包括周边国家、区域大国和国际组织在内的全方位外交体系。
