SUMMARY:The Fish\, the Sea\, and the Political Economy of the Partial Borde
 r Citizen Regime at Two Border Towns in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:\n	Pitch Pongsawat (Assistant Professor\, Faculty of Political 
 Science\, Chulalongkorn University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Discussant/ch
 air: Michael Herzfeld (Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences
 \, Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored by th
 e Harvard University Asia Center\n\n\n	This talk is based on research cond
 ucted at two border towns in Thailand (Ranong and Mahachai) on the Thai-My
 anmar coastal border.  Unlike most Thai-Myanmar border research\, which f
 ocuses on the northern and western land-based border areas\, this talk wil
 l focus on the characteristics of sea-based border towns in central and so
 uthern Thailand and the political economy of the spatialized border partia
 l citizenship of those towns.  On the one hand\, these two border towns s
 hare the main characteristics of Thailand’s urban border space: a fast g
 rowing economy\, porosity of physical border space\, complex cross-border 
 trade\, and a large population of “disguised but visible” illegal migr
 ants from Myanmar who perform the roles of cross-border agents and/or high
 ly exploited workers with a tendency to have human trafficking connections
 .  On the other hand\, the nature of the sea-border\, fishery and fishery
  processing industries\, and the so-called border partial citizenship regi
 me create an interesting trajectory for these two border towns in the cont
 ext of the global food economy and regional border instability in Southeas
 t Asia.
