Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
In the first part of the paper, it traces the evolution of the discourse and practice of `fisheries thinking' in the official Mekong institutions, and points out the current status of debates over isheries in the context of rapid economic development. There has been a marked shift in the discourse of Mekong institutions in recent years towards greater recognition of the significance of fish and aquatic ecological integrity, reflecting in part the growing evidence of the importance of fisheries to basin livelihood systems and the intense disruption to these fisheries likely to result if the long-envisioned Mekong cascade of hydroelectric dams is allowed to proceed. In the second part of the paper, it explore the usefulness of the primitive accumulation thesis as a framework through which to think about the politics of the aquatic commons in the Mekong.
