Abstract Sikkim in north-eastern India is a small border state strategically located between China, Nepal and Bhutan. Two decades of state-led investment in infrastructural development and private investment in hydropower and pharmaceutical industries has transformed Sikkim from a remote border state to a de-facto Special Economic Zone (SEZ) where incursions by private capital are masked under state-led development policies. The profusion of pharmaceutical factories and the concomitant corporate land grabs have led to the recalibration of peoples relations with land and the creation of a new layer of rural poor. The paper focuses on Setipool slum, east Sikkim located near two pharmaceutical factories to demonstrate the ways corporate land grabs have altered the relationships between people, land and the state in expected and unexpected ways. Ambiguous land rights and the establishment of pharmaceutical factories have led to spatially contained land booms in Setipool which replicate nexuses of illegality, claim-making and exclusions that are characteristic of corporate land grabs. Land grabs and different forms of intimate exclusions that have emerged within the slum challenge prior assumptions around local responses to corporate incursions and illustrates how even without dispossession, commodification of land can lead to different forms of access and exclusions.
锡金位于印度东北部,是一个位于中国、尼泊尔和不丹之间的边境小国。20年来,国家主导的基础设施建设投资以及水电和制药行业的私人投资,已将锡金从一个偏远的边境国家转变为事实上的经济特区,在这里,私人资本的入侵被国家主导的发展政策所掩盖。大量的制药厂和随之而来的企业对土地的掠夺导致了人们与土地关系的重新调整,并创造了一个新的农村贫困阶层。本文以锡金东部靠近两家制药厂的Setipool贫民窟为例,展示了企业对土地的攫取如何以预期和意外的方式改变了人、土地和国家之间的关系。含糊不清的土地权利和制药厂的建立导致了塞蒂普尔在空间上的土地繁荣,这复制了非法、索赔和排斥的联系,这些都是公司土地掠夺的特征。在贫民窟中出现的土地掠夺和不同形式的亲密排斥挑战了关于当地对公司入侵的反应的先前假设,并说明即使没有剥夺,土地商品化也会导致不同形式的获取和排斥。

How are development zones ‘made’ in conflict-affected borderlands? Addressing this question, this chapter explores the transformation of the Myanmar-China border town of Muse since 1988. Despite ongoing armed conflict in northern Myanmar, Muse has become the country’s most important border development zone and today handles more than 80% of licit overland Myanmar-China trade. It is also a key border hub in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Policy narratives typically claim that borderland development and regional economic integration offer an antidote to violence, criminality, and illegal practices. This chapter challenges these narratives. It demonstrates how longstanding forms of informal public authority and illegality have become deeply embedded in the technologies of governance that have underpinned Muse’s rise.
在受冲突影响的边境地区,开发区是如何“制造”的?为了解决这个问题,本章探讨了1988年以来缅中边境城镇木色的变化。尽管缅甸北部的武装冲突持续不断,但缪斯已成为该国最重要的边境开发区,目前处理了80%以上的缅中陆路合法贸易。它也是中国“一带一路”倡议的重要边境枢纽。政策叙事通常声称,边境发展和区域经济一体化为暴力、犯罪和非法行为提供了解药。本章对这些叙述提出了挑战。它表明,长期存在的非正式公共权力和非法性形式已深深植根于支撑缪斯崛起的治理技术中。

Post-disaster Development Zones and Dry Ports as Geopolitical Infrastructures in Nepal 灾后开发区和旱港作为尼泊尔的地缘政治基础设施

Economic activity is central to development zones and represents a core dynamic from which a host of other relationships radiate outwards. While economic logics consistently motivate and produce the development of such zones, the resultant activities are always much more than economic. That is, the development of development zones also sets in motion new configurations of political power and socio-spatial domination. Following this line of thinking, this chapter examines the proliferating development of new import-export dry ports in the Nepal-China borderlands to understand how geopolitical relationships are grounded, localised, and reconfigured through infrastructural projects. Taking Nepal’s post-disaster development landscape as both a point of departure and site of inquiry, I show that the making of development zones in post-disaster environments accomplishes interrelated objectives of state-led territorialisation and economic expansion across a range of social and spatial scales.
经济活动是开发区的核心,代表了一种核心动力,从这种动力向外辐射出许多其他关系。虽然经济逻辑一直在激励和产生这些区域的发展,但由此产生的活动总是远远超过经济。也就是说,开发区的发展也启动了政治权力和社会空间支配的新格局。按照这一思路,本章考察了尼泊尔-中国边境地区新进出口陆港的迅速发展,以了解地缘政治关系是如何通过基础设施项目建立、本地化和重新配置的。以尼泊尔的灾后发展景观作为出发点和调查地点,我表明,在灾后环境中建立开发区实现了国家主导的领土化和经济扩张的相互关联的目标,跨越了一系列社会和空间尺度。

Smart Enclaves in the Borderland 边境地带的智能飞地
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5117/9789463726238_ch07
Duncan McDuie‐Ra
Imphal, the capital city of Manipur, was one of 100 cities awarded bids in India’s Smart Cities Mission (SCM). The extension of the SCM to the borderland is an extension of zone-logic, enrolling the recalcitrant frontier into economic networks that cross India. Through a reading of Imphal’s smart city bid and implementation strategy, this chapter makes three main arguments. First, unlike zone-making projects in other parts of Asia where local elites, brokers, and/or local governments doggedly pursue the granting of zones, the extension of the SCM to Imphal has been driven more by obligation than desire. Second, the idea of an “open city” is counter to the lived reality of surveillance, checkpoints, and limits on mobility and assembly that characterise life in the city. Third, Imphal’s meagre bid and lack of preparedness is barely relevant to the smart city award, as the geopolitical imperatives outweigh all other factors.
曼尼普尔邦首府英帕尔是印度智能城市使命(SCM)招标的100个城市之一。SCM向边境地区的延伸是区域逻辑的延伸,将顽固的边境地区纳入跨越印度的经济网络。通过阅读英帕尔的智慧城市竞标和实施策略,本章提出了三个主要论点。首先,与亚洲其他地区的区域建设项目不同,当地精英、经纪人和/或地方政府固执地追求区域的批准,将SCM扩展到英帕尔更多地是出于义务而不是愿望。其次,“开放城市”的概念与监视、检查站、限制流动性和集会等城市生活特征的现实生活背道而驰。第三,英帕尔微薄的出价和缺乏准备与智慧城市奖几乎没有关系,因为地缘政治的必要性超过了所有其他因素。

From Boom to Bust – to Boom Again? 从繁荣到萧条,再到繁荣?

The Boten SEZ at the China-Laos border is undergoing major development as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Its story goes back to 2007 when Boten opened as a land concession for a Chinese hotel-casino complex. Yet crime and mismanagement led to its abrupt closure in 2011, when most people left. This chapter is based on research in Boten in 2015-2017, between the zone’s first failure and its current boom. After introducing the history of Boten I show how “waiting” for development became an embodied trope for those living in the SEZ throughout this period. Secondly, I engage with the notion of “suspension” as an analytical device to address development zones in the context of China’s global ambitions.
作为中国“一带一路”倡议的一部分,中老边境磨丁经济特区正在进行重大开发。磨谷的故事要追溯到2007年,当时磨谷是一家中国酒店赌场综合体的土地特许经营地。然而,犯罪和管理不善导致它在2011年突然关闭,当时大多数人都离开了。本章基于2015-2017年在磨丁的研究,从该区的第一次失败到目前的繁荣。在介绍磨丁的历史之后,我展示了“等待”是如何在这一时期成为经济特区居民的象征。

Thinking the Zone 思考区域

This chapter interrogates an emergent genre of development zone in the India-Bangladesh borderlands that seek to instil resilience in climatevulnerable populations. Unlike development zones framed in relation to development as economic growth, these zones venture a darker vision of life in a warming world – one where portable technologies become necessary for managing a future of climate chaos. I propose, following Foucault, understanding these projects as heterodystopias: spaces managed as and in anticipation of a world of dystopian climate crisis that are at once, stages for future interventions and present-day spectacles of climate security. Heterodystopia provides an analytic for diagnosing the visions of time, space, and development embedded in these and other securitised framings of the future.
本章探讨了印度-孟加拉国边境地区一种新兴的开发区类型,旨在向易受气候影响的人群灌输适应能力。与将发展与经济增长联系起来的开发区不同,这些开发区在一个变暖的世界里冒险展现了一种更黑暗的生活前景——在这个世界里,便携式技术成为管理未来气候混乱的必要条件。我建议,按照福柯的观点,把这些项目理解为异反乌托邦:作为一个反乌托邦气候危机世界的预期而管理的空间,同时也是未来干预和当今气候安全景象的阶段。异反乌托邦提供了一种分析方法,用于诊断嵌入在这些和其他证券化的未来框架中的时间、空间和发展的愿景。

From Shangri-La to De facto SEZ 从香格里拉到事实上的经济特区

Sikkim in north-eastern India is a small border state strategically located between China, Nepal, and Bhutan. Two decades of state-led investment in infrastructural development and private investment in hydropower and pharmaceutical industries has transformed Sikkim from a remote border state to a de facto Special Economic Zone (SEZ) where incursions by private capital are masked under state-led development policies. The chapter focuses on Setipool slum, east Sikkim, located near two pharmaceutical factories, to demonstrate how ambiguous land rights and the establishment of pharmaceutical factories have led to spatially contained land booms which replicate nexuses of illegality, claim-making, and exclusions that are characteristic of corporate land grabs. The paper illustrates (i) the liminal origins of development zones, (ii) the networks and, sometimes, unforeseen socio-spatial impacts within and outside development zones, and (iii) the different forms of intimate exclusions that challenge prior assumptions around local responses to corporate incursions.
锡金位于印度东北部,是一个位于中国、尼泊尔和不丹之间的边境小国。20年来,国家主导的基础设施建设投资以及水电和制药行业的私人投资,已将锡金从一个偏远的边境国家转变为事实上的经济特区,在这里,私人资本的入侵被国家主导的发展政策所掩盖。本章重点关注位于锡金东部两家制药厂附近的Setipool贫民窟,以证明含糊不清的土地权利和制药厂的建立如何导致了空间上的土地繁荣,这种繁荣复制了非法、索赔和排除的联系,这些都是企业土地掠夺的特征。本文阐述了(i)开发区的有限起源,(ii)开发区内外的网络,有时是不可预见的社会空间影响,以及(iii)不同形式的亲密排斥,这些排斥挑战了当地对企业入侵的反应的先前假设。

Casinos as Special Zones 赌场作为特区
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5117/9789463726238_ch03
J. Zhang
This chapter offers a reflection on the speculative ways in which global casino hotels become new zones of development in many Asian destinations. As ultra-modern integrated resorts developed to boost tourism and foreign direct investment, these casino and entertainment enclaves carve out exceptional spaces in search of profit and legitimacy. Looking at casino establishments in Asia’s special economic zones, this chapter examines the development of casino zones as a strategy for progress in places still marred by underdevelopment. New casino zones create novel forms of territorialisation and responsibilisation, enabling differentiated biopolitics of control.
本章对全球赌场酒店成为许多亚洲目的地的新开发区的投机方式进行了反思。随着超现代综合度假村的发展,以促进旅游业和外国直接投资,这些赌场和娱乐飞地开辟了特殊的空间,以寻求利润和合法性。本章以亚洲经济特区的赌场设施为例,探讨了赌场区的发展作为发展落后地区的一种战略。新的赌场区创造了新的领土化和责任形式,实现了差异化的生物政治控制。

Post-Disaster Economies at the Margins 灾后经济的边缘
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5117/9789463726238_ch08
Nadine Plachta
This chapter is concerned with the making of development zones in Nepal’s northern borderlands. Focusing on the shifting economic geographies of traders and businessmen, I demonstrate that the current revival of border markets and informal economies is inseparable from the combined processes of state restructuring and infrastructural reconstruction that ensued after the 2015 earthquakes devastated large parts of the country. I seek to develop the category of “informal development zones” to attend to the ways in which state power is enacted to control and discipline the margins in the post-disaster moment, while also foregrounding how rural inhabitants engage with, resist, or support the formalities of state laws and regulations. Looking closely at local narratives of social differences and insecurities, I show how people navigate the complex space between competition and choice to carve out investment strategies and entrepreneurial opportunities. Informal development zones are transforming life in borderlands and offer an urgent reminder of the uncertain and uneven outcomes of market economies following moments of rupture.
这一章是关于尼泊尔北部边境地区开发区的制定。关注贸易商和商人的经济地理变化,我证明了当前边境市场和非正规经济的复苏与2015年地震摧毁该国大部分地区后随之而来的国家重组和基础设施重建的联合进程是分不开的。我试图发展“非正式开发区”的范畴,以关注国家权力在灾后时刻控制和约束边缘地区的方式,同时也关注农村居民如何参与、抵制或支持国家法律法规的形式。我仔细观察了当地关于社会差异和不安全感的叙述,展示了人们如何在竞争和选择之间的复杂空间中导航,以开拓投资策略和创业机会。非正式开发区正在改变边境地区的生活,并紧急提醒人们,在市场经济破裂之后,市场经济的结果是不确定和不平衡的。
