Political Economy

Senior Researchers of Nyan Corridor is currently undertaking two main research works in the field of Political Economy:

1. Capitalist Resource Frontier Making, Extractivism/Neo-Extractivism and State Making in Myanmar
2. The Nexus of Agrarian Change, Capitalist Accumulations and Climate Change in Indo-Myanmar Border Areas.

The Critical Political Economy theories are applied in the research works. The former one explores how the State Making by newly emerged political authorities resisting Myanmar State under the military rule of the junta is being occurred in the context of global capitalist resource frontier making. The later one explore how indigenous Naga agrarian society of Indo-Myanmar Border has been transformed by gradual but in faster move of capitalist encroachments in the context of climate change. Both research works are at the stage of data collection.
