Abstract

In this paper, the authors concentrate on developments in Southeast Asia concerning newly emerging relationships between the nation-state and a globally-oriented corporation. Using an integrated corporate-commodity system analysis, they examine the nature of the farmed shrimp industry in Thailand and the company (the CP group) most responsible for the vertical integration of production first in Thailand and subsequently elsewhere in the region. They argue, that the shrimp industry both globally and in Thailand offer a particularly significant example of the consequesnces, that agri-food restructuring and the intensification of aquaculture, has on the possibilities for the participatory control of social resources.
