Rural areas and rural people have been centrally implicated in Southeast Asia's modernisation. Through the three entry points of smallholder persistence, upland dispossession, and landlessness, this Element offers an insight into the ways in which the countryside has been transformed over the past half century.

The persistence of the smallholder in a time of extraordinary change in Thailand lies at the heart of this book. In More than Rural, Jonathan Rigg explores how people in the countryside have adapted to their changing world, the new opportunities available, and the consequences for rural life and living.

Based on extensive original research, this book assesses how economic transition and marketisation are being translated into progress (or not) at the local level, and at the resulting impact on poverty, inequality and livelihoods.

Over the course of the last half century, the growth economies of Southeast Asia ¿ Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam ¿ have transformed themselves into middle income countries. This book looks at how the very success of these economies has bred new challenges, novel problems, and fresh tensions, while hang-overs from years of underdevelopment also sometimes remain to be resolved.
