“…They have better luck when they are able to use political connections, when their case gets high media coverage, or when international NGOs and donors exert pressure on the government on their behalf (Ngin and Verkoren, 2015). Informal dispute resolution processes are similarly politically influenced (Tat and Bagshaw, 2014). The result of all this is that 'those who have more power benefit from ELC development, while local villagers are marginalized and oppressed in the development process' (ibid.…”

Using a case study of Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) in Cambodia, this article adds to emerging literature on local responses to land grabbing. While much of this literature has focused on political opportunity structures, this article looks at the agency of local groups organizing in response to land grabbing. Noting that organization and connections have been ‘missing links’ in the literature, the authors draw on thinking on collective action and social networking. Their findings highlight the importance of identity politics in the development of movements responding to land grabbing. Transnational discourses and external support also play a significant role in local responses to land grabbing in general, and in the modest success achieved by the PLCN in particular. All this complicates the traditional understanding of political opportunity structures and calls for a more dynamic approach.

“…More importantly, compensation regulated in the Constitution of land acquisition should be separately regulated and implemented through civil law so that the principles of justice and equality in law can be achieved. Tat & Bagshaw (2014) in analyzing land conflicts in Cambodia states that the basis for the group and individual debate and clashes is related to the conception of economic land concessions (ELCs) which have various implications for land and development. More specifically in analyzing peasants' strategies in Cambodia on land grabbing Verkoren & Ngin (2017) stated that social networks and collective action have an important meaning in the identity politics of farmers in response to land grabbing.…”

The issue that will be discussed in this paper are problems causing disputes/conflicts over land acquisition toward development for the public interest. To address those problems, document and literature search as well as literature review are employed, including the cases of land acquisition that have occurred to be analyzed descriptively to achieve resolution to the problems. The results showed that land acquisition is closely related to eviction, land purchase, compensation, repressive actions of the apparatus, public reluctance to move from the acquired land, and public refusal towards the form and amount of the compensation. The problems due to land acquisition that provokes disputes/conflicts arise from three sources: a substance (in terms of regulations, or biased meaning of public interest), structure (the roles of officials/institutions related to land acquisition), and public. Regarding the fact that the existence of disputes/conflicts over land acquisition is frequently related to the issue of justice and public welfare, therefore, attention and efforts are practically needed to achieve justice and welfare, especially for those whose lands are acquired without ignoring the aspect of legal certainty as a characteristic of state law.

“…Some of the indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia are not recognised as rightful citizens in their home countries, which are intricate with political issues (Morton, 2016). There have also been cases where their rights to their lands, territories and resources are violated (Swainson & McGregor, 2008;Tat & Bagshaw, 2014; van Klinken, 2008), their traditional livelihood practices not recognised (International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, 2016; Nguyen & Ross, 2017), they are forced to migrate and resettle (Armitage & Tam, 2007;Baird, 2010;Singer, Hoang, & Ochiai, 2015), and they are subjected to marginalisation and discrimination outside their homes (Erni, 2015). Furthermore, some indigenous communities had to bear with the consequences of climate change due to the rapid development at their homelands (Haug, 2017).…”

Although faced with historical and ongoing hardships, many indigenous communities in Southeast Asia have managed to survive and thrive. The identification of factors that assist these communities in coping with the challenges experienced would help enhance their overall psychological well‐being and resilience. The current review outlines types of protective factors for the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia focusing on the cultural, family and community elements linked to their psychological well‐being. Four themes of protective factors were identified strong connection to the land and the environment, embracing cultural norms and traditions, passing down and keeping indigenous knowledge across generations, and emphasis on community and social cohesion. Findings suggest that the value of interconnectedness serves as an overarching theme that forms the worldview of the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia. Interconnectedness was important to the indigenous peoples as they considered themselves to be extensions of their family, community, ancestors, future descendants, the land and to all living things and creations that reside on their lands. Future intervention attempts to promote resilience among these communities should take these factors into account, and pay closer attention to community‐level factors that seem to have a profound impact on the indigenous construction of resilience.
