当財団の助成についてI greatly appreciate the travel award from The Kyoto University Foundation, which
covered my all travel expense during the conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Thisconference, which holds every two years, is an important event for Southeast AsianStudies. Due to the travel award, I could have an opportunity to attend a lot of panels I am
interested in and knew some excellent researchers, which really helped me a lot to further
think about my research.

成果の概要/花暁波 (Xiaobo Hua)
Building on the imperative to promote region-based Southeast Asian Studies, the Consortium forSoutheast Asian Studies in Asia (SEASIA) is organizing a “Southeast Asian Studies in Asia”
Conference to be held in Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, on December 16-17, 2017.
This conference is the second of the biennial meetings that will be organized in the region. The firstconference was held by Kyoto University in Kyoto International Conference Center on December 12-13,
2015. The theme of this conference is “Unity in Diversity: Transgressive Southeast Asia”.

Figure 1. The first day of the conference

Under this theme, eleven sub-theme had been arranged for interdisciplinary integration including 58
panel sessions, totally. Prof. Yasuyuki Kono from Kyoto University organized a panel session named“Industrializing Agriculture in Southeast Asia” from 15:30 to 17:30 pm on 17 December, 2017, which I
belonged to. In this session, the four speakers are Prof. Kono, Prof. Maohong Bao from Peking
University, Assistant Professor Miles Kenney-Lazar from Kyoto University and me, respectively. We
mainly discuss about the following three questions proposed by Prof. Kono from our own researchwork.
What are the substantial changes of agriculture and rural life of Southeast Asia during the last
several decades and how will they change in the coming several decades?

What are/will be the major drivers of these changes?
What are the significant consequences of these changes for the society and nature of Southeast
Asia?
My presentation was about the expansion of cash crops and timber trees in China-Myanmar border. I
started my talk from the brief introduction of border and border landscape. Based on the definition ofborder landscape plasticity, I designed a framework for understanding how landscape was shaped bylocal need, state plans and borderland possibilities. Then, after showing the cases ofChina-Thailand-Laos border and China-Vietnam border, I showed the research gap that we knew muchless about the border landscape in China-Myanmar border and proposed my research question that how
specific historical, socio-economic, and political factors in China-Myanmar border affect local farmers
to shape the border landscapes. Using historical demographic census and land contract in 1982,
participatory rural appraisal (PRA), remotely sensed data and quantitative analysis, I analyzed theprocess and trend of cash crops and timber trees in three typical villages, Ruili City in China-Myanmar
border areas since the establishment of Household Responsibility System (HRS). The findings showed
the following: (1) The general process of agricultural development in Ruili City was “subsistence
agriculture ~ intervened commercialized agriculture ~ protected/facility agriculture”; (2) The booming
market for timber attracts upland farmers to plant timber trees, which was affected by logging history
from Myanmar and forest tenure reform.; (3) The expansion of cash crops and timber trees were mostly
developed by Han ethnic group.; (4) Cross-border labor inward migration from Myanmar side
contributed to the process of agricultural development in China side.; (5) The spillover effect over theprocess and conveniences in Myanmar side pushed the farmers in China to Myanmar for agriculturalinvestment. Based on my findings, I finally discussed the drivers of cash crops and timber trees and thecurrent agribusiness models, and I also tried to answer the questions mentioned above by using my casestudy.
After my presentation, some scholars from Chulalongkorn University asked me some questions about
how to identify border from socio-economic perspective and cross-border marriage. They also gave mesome comments for my further research. I really learnt a lot from the discussions.
Besides, I also attended a lot of panels I am interested in and knew some excellent researchers, whichreally helped me a lot to further think about my research.

After the conference, I will modify my paper based on the comments and later submit to aninternational journal. I greatly appreciate the travel award from The Kyoto University Foundation,
which covered my all travel expense during the conference in Bangkok, Thailand.
