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).
