This paper argues that the moulding of the promise of development zones with existing local aspirations for the future generates a powerful affective force that potentially incites social transformation. The paper demonstrates this argument by examining suspended development in an Indonesian border village, Long Nawang, which is designated by the state as a prospective border economic centre. The paper highlights how the promise of accelerated development intensifies existing aspirations for urbanity among border elites and villagers. The aspiration persists among the elites even when development zones do not materialise as intended due to delays in key development milestones in Long Nawang. The paper illustrates this persistence by looking at how the elites use their authority to fashion the villagers into tame development subjects in a vague bid to keep the potential urbanised future alive.

This chapter explores how airports and airspace can be recognised as development zones that serve to connect the ground and the air. Through four “aerial snapshots” (airspace restrictions, a new air route, a binational airline venture, and the building of the “next” international airport in Nepal), this paper shows how aerial development takes on a specific significance in how Nepal positions itself vis-à-vis the borders of India and China. It argues that a volumetric approach – paying attention to the spatial production of both land and air – is vital in order to understand the future shape of aerial development zones in the Himalayas.

Taking departure from the failure of a planned but never realised special economic zone (SEZ) in the Indonesian borderland city of Tarakan, we argue that this planned SEZ would paradoxically not have been the island of sovereign exception often associated with SEZs, but rather a zone where central government would have had comparably more control than they have in the surrounding borderlands. This leads us to argue that the entire borderland surrounding Tarakan can be considered a de facto development zone in itself. Additionally, the de facto development zone is multigenerational, having been through a number of booms and busts, triggering both migrations and environmental ruination, while central state authority and interest have waxed and waned accordingly.
