Abstract We engage geography's longstanding debate on what “counts” as resistance by introducing slow to account for temporal‐political strategies against unjust developments, particularly under authoritarian conditions. draw over a decade of fieldwork in the Salween River Basin where dams and diversions have been proposed since 1979, including most recent iteration, Yuam water diversion project Northwest Thailand. find that impacted communities civil society encompasses slow, strategic,...
Abstract For the past two decades, work across a range of fields, but particularly geography, has engaged ‘critical hydropolitics’ as way to highlight not only politics inherent in decisions about water, also foundational assumptions more conventional hydropolitical analyses that tend focus on conflicts and cooperation over water resources, with heavy emphasis ‘the state’ key actor scale analysis. In this article we review critical literature focuses transboundary rivers descend from eastern...
Abstract Environmental change and governance operate across multiple, interconnected scales. In Southeast Asia, there are calls to broaden the study of transboundary environmental address range scales, actors, flows in analysis. response, we propose a framework move beyond statist framings ‘transboundary’ region by drawing on van Schendel's proposal for flow studies one hand, overcome ‘geographies ignorance’ that stem from fixed nation‐states, mobile political ecology other, emphasise role...
Recent studies in human geography and political ecology have examined the anticipatory politics of proposed infrastructure their effects. Less work analyses how speculation rumour are mobilised to promote or resist such infrastructures. In this paper, I examine speculative ideas about long-proposed hydropower dams transbasin water diversions Salween River Basin strategically deployed by differently placed actors working towards project development demise. draw on empirical research Yuam...
