    This paper seeks to reconsider the contemporary relevance of the resource frontier, drawing on examples of nature's commodification and enclosure under way in the peripheral Southeast Asian country of Laos. Frontiers are conceived as relational zones of economy, nature and society; spaces of capitalist transition, where new forms of social property relations and systems of legality are rapidly established in response to market imperatives.

    Laos, South-Eastern Asia

    In the mountainous regions of northern Laos, shifting cultivation, or slash-and-burn agriculture, is widely practiced. However, the crop–fallow rotation cycle is becoming shorter owing to forest conservation policies and population pressure, causing loss of productivity that deleteriously affects farmers’ livelihoods in the region. To investigate regional land use conditions, we have developed a method of identifying the crop–fallow rotation cycle from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+) data.

    The Mekong Basin Focal Project aims were to assess water use, water productivity and

    water poverty in the basin, and analyse the opportunities and risks of change in water

    management that influences water poverty.

    The main issue facing the Lower Mekong is not water availability (except for seasonally in

    certain areas such as northeast Thailand) but the impact of changed flows (which may

    result from dam or irrigation development or climate change) on ecology, fish production,
