Abstract

Large-scale market integration and infrastructure development have long been regarded as accelerators of political liberalization in the Global South, according to conventional modernization theory. A significant exception to this assumption, however, is the operationalization of the Laos–China Railway (LCR). This massive undertaking has ironically reinforced the authoritarian tenacity of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) rather than promoting democratic liberalization. This article argues that the LCR serves more as a tool for political survival than as a means of transportation, drawing on Spin Dictatorship theory. The regime uses the project to construct a concept of Performative Modernity—an impressive display of technological prowess designed to project performance credibility while concealing systemic oppression and financial instability. The analysis demonstrates how the LPRP manipulates the narrative of “transforming from land-locked to land-linked” to justify exclusionary development through a qualitative case study employing process tracing. By introducing the concept of Authoritarian Infrastructuralism and challenging the liberal institutionalist perspective, this study shows that infrastructural connectivity can be effectively decoupled from democratic transformation, thereby supporting the consolidation of contemporary autocracy.

Abstract

The conflict between the Philippine government and the Muslim community in Mindanao stems from historical marginalization, ongoing violence, and the rejection of previous attempts to grant autonomy by various groups. This study analyzes the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) through the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) of 2019. By positioning BARMM as a form of constitutional asymmetry within the framework of the unitary state of the Philippines, this study highlights how BARMM operates as a federal dynamic that balances self-rule and shared rule without fully adopting a federal system. Using qualitative descriptive research, this study demonstrates that BARMM strengthens national integration through (1) constitutional asymmetry as an instrument for managing diversity, (2) the implementation of BARMM: self-rule and shared rule, (3) political legitimacy through symbolic and functional reconciliation, and (4) the need to mitigate structural challenges and risks within BARMM. This study concludes that constitutional asymmetry functions as a strategic mechanism in the construction of peace from within and provides an analytical paradigm to explain ethnopolitical diversity within the socio-political structure of the society.

Abstract

Coastal communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh are increasingly exposed to climate-related hazards that threaten livelihoods, ecosystems, and social well-being. Although previous studies have extensively documented women's vulnerability to climate change, comparatively little attention has been paid to the mechanisms through which gender equality strengthens coastal climate resilience across different governance contexts. This study examines the relationship between gender equality and coastal climate resilience through a qualitative comparative analysis of Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. The analysis integrates primary evidence from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted in Indonesia with secondary evidence from Vietnam and Bangladesh, complemented by policy documents and scholarly literature. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that women make substantial contributions to climate adaptation through livelihood diversification, local ecological knowledge, environmental stewardship, collective action, and disaster preparedness. However, these contributions remain constrained by unequal access to productive resources, limited participation in decision-making, and persistent socio-cultural and institutional barriers. The comparative analysis further demonstrates that gender equality strengthens adaptive capacity by enabling women's agency, while inclusive governance determines the extent to which this agency can be translated into long-term coastal climate resilience. The study advances an integrated conceptual framework positioning women's agency as the central mechanism linking gender equality, adaptive capacity, and coastal climate resilience across diverse institutional contexts. These findings contribute to Feminist Political Ecology by demonstrating that resilient coastal communities are shaped not only by technological adaptation but also by inclusive governance that recognises women's knowledge, participation, and leadership.
