Abstract- This special issue deals with local rural people's
economic, social and cultural responses to external and internal
pressures generated by processes of global and regional change. The
contributions deal with issues of resource-base degradation and
stable land management, with special emphases on market integration
and increased vulnerability of natural resources and local
livelihoods in Lao DPR; land-use change in a Malaysian swidden
system under varied patterns of migration and off-farm. labour;
occupational multiplicity and agricultural specialization in the
Philippines; land degradation and environmental perceptions in
peri-urban Nigeria; food security, gendered labour and shifting
cultural-economic values in Uganda; and the rehabilitation of
environment and social institutions through neo-localism in
Thailand. All of the articles were originally presented at an
International Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2003, under the
auspices of the Danish University Consortium on Environment and
Development - Sustainable Land Use and Natural Resource Management
(DUCED SLUSE).
