Research
The three central strands of my research are:
-
the political and economic dynamics of agrarian change, focused specifically on mainland Southeast Asia;
-
the impact on peripheral states and peripheral territorial spaces of the expansion of the modern international system;
-
the nexus between agriculture, energy, and climate change.
