Abstract

This article offers a case study in Battambang province that examines agrarian and land dynamics in an irrigated command area. Building on the “powers of exclusion” framework developed by Hall, Hirsch and Li, we show how irrigation reshapes socio-spatial configurations locally and reinforces the dynamics of social differentiation between smallholder farmers. We argue that the uneven geography of water and the transformation of land ownership structures to which the irrigation project in question contributes run in the opposite direction of a pathway that would support the development of inclusive pro-smallholder irrigation.

柬埔寨灌溉部门的排除:来自马德望省的观点

本文提供了一个在马德望省的案例研究，考察了一个灌溉指挥区内的农业和土地动态。在Hall、Hirsch和Li提出的“排他性力量”框架的基础上，我们展示了灌溉如何重塑当地的社会空间结构，并加强了小农之间的社会分化动态。我们认为，水的不均匀地理和土地所有权结构的转变是灌溉项目所促成的，这与支持包容性小农户灌溉发展的途径背道而驰。

期刊介绍： Cahiers Agricultures is a - mainly - French language scientific journal on world farming systems, how they are changing and their role in society. It is aimed at all those – researchers, field workers, teachers – who are interested in a holistic reflection on the agricultural world. Cahiers Agricultures gives priority to research on agriculture as implemented by farmers, that has meaning for citizens in countries in the North and South, as opposed to research work conducted in a controlled environment (laboratory, research center, etc.). Research of this type is often multidisciplinary and takes into account the knowledge and know-how of the different stakeholders. The different parties are also actively involved in research, alongside the scientists. In this way, the journal stimulates debate on issues linked to society, such as the impact of using water and nitrogen fertilisers, peri-urban farming, fish farming, livestock production in rural areas, food security, etc.
