    ABSTRACTED FROM CHAPTER INTRODUCTION: The preceding chapters of this book give a central place to the Powers of Exclusion framework for understanding transformations in land relations, as developed in our 2011 book on Southeast Asia. A couple of the main aspects of the two books make for an interesting comparison. The first is that each employs a regional frame of reference to explore themes in changing land relations. The second is their respective development and application of a common conceptual framework.

    and distributional effects of the crisis in the Philippines.
    The authors find increases in both the level and the depth

    Due to growing environmentally and socially aware markets on a global level, as well as on a regional level, and with more recent gains for democracy in the region, companies have to ensure their operations are socially and environmentally acceptable.

    This paper discusses the progress made
    by Cambodia from the early 90s to 2007, in reduction of
    poverty incidence. Reduced poverty occurred in both urban

    by men and women. Households, including those in the poorest
    groups, have improved their housing quality, increased
    ownership of motorbikes, televisions, and mobile phones, and
    are better able to access and afford schools and healthcare.
