“…As a result, there were thousands of deaths and a massive fleeing to Thailand for refuge in refugee camps (Dodson, 2011;McNall, Dunningan & Mortimer, 1994, Tatman, 2004Wausau, 2004;Yang, 2003). More specifically, after the final communist takeover of Laos and Vietnam, the Hmong fled to Thailand where the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) assumed responsibility for them until they could officially migrate (Culas & Michaud, 2004). The primary reasoning behind UNHCR's action of helping the Hmong people avoid retaliation or "re-education" by communist Pathet Lao was due to the Hmong's collaboration with pro-American or Royalist forces (Culas & Michaud, 2004).…”

“…There is a long tradition of opium production in Vietnam by some ethnic groups, who have cultivated opium poppies since migrating to the highlands from China in the early/mid-19 th century (Culas & Michaud, 1997). In 1975, the government began procuring highland opium for domestic and export medicinal purposes.…”

“…This dovetailed a growing identification that most insurgents were motivated not by ideology, but by the material support promised by communist agents (Girling, 1967), and that some local conflicts were a direct result of opium suppression (Culas & Michaud, 1997). The King became a key proponent of development as a means of suppressing both opium production and the insurgency.…”

This paper investigates the paradoxes inherent in Thai and Vietnamese drug policies. The two countries have much in common. Both are ultra-prohibitionist states which employ repressive policies to contain drug markets. Their policies have, however, diverged in two key areas: opium suppression and harm reduction. Thailand implemented an effective intervention to suppress opium farming centred upon alternative development, whereas Vietnam suppressed opium production through coercive negotiation with nominal alternative development. Vietnam has embraced elements of harm reduction, whereas Thailand has been slow to implement harm reduction policies. This paper hypothesises that these two differences are largely a product of their perceived relationship to security.The two cases demonstrate how once an issue is securitized the ultra-prohibitionist rules of the game can be broken to allow for more humane and pragmatic policies.

“…While the exact origins of the Hmong are unknown, China is the first place where they appear in historical records, with many migrating from China to Southeast Asia around the nineteenth century (Culas & Michaud, 2004;Lee, 2007;Thao, 2006). We know that a patrilineal clan system has dominated Hmong social organization since the period of the Chinese Sung Dynasty (Tapp, 1986, p. 167).…”

For social scientists, kinship has traditionally meant genealogical relations as defined by procreation, separating those who are genealogically related to each other from those who aren't. Today, anthropologists are interested in understanding specific local and indigenous conceptions of human relatedness Á how the biological and social converge to make different constructions and experiences of kinship. This paper extends that examination to the contemporary Hmong who came as refugees to Texas and Gammertingen, Germany, examining the ways connections and disconnections of relatedness have come to be understood not only in terms of blood and clan, but also in terms of dialect. This paper theoretically situates the Hmong idea of kinship in these two localities as a reintegration of the more descent-centered Freedmanian model and one of the more modern models that include dialect variation in lineage.Fü r Sozialwissenschaftler, hat Verwandtschaft traditionell genealogischen Beziehungen als durch Zeugung festgelegt gemeint, trennt diejenigen, die genealogisch miteinander von denen, die nicht verwandt sind. Heute sind Anthropologen interessierten Verständnis spezifischen lokalen und indigenen Vorstellungen von menschlicher Verbundenheit Á wie die biologische und soziale Konvergenz zu verschiedenen Konstruktionen und Erfahrungen der Verwandtschaft zu machen. Dieser Artikel erweitert, dass die Prü fung der zeitgenö ssischen Hmong, die als Flü chtlinge nach Texas kam und Gammertingen Deutschland prü ft die Möglichkeiten Verbindungen und Trennungen der Verwandtschaft kommen, um nicht nur in Bezug auf Blut und Clans verstanden werden, aber auch in Bezug auf Dialekt. Dieser Artikel theoretisch verortet die Hmong Idee der Verwandtschaft in diesen beiden Ortschaften als Wiedereingliederung der mehr Abstiegs-centered Freedmanian Modell und ein von modernen Modellen, die Dialekt Variante sind in der Abstammung.
