Two decades of state-led investment in infrastructural development and private investment in hydropower and pharmaceutical industries has transformed Sikkim from a remote border state to a de-facto Special Economic Zone (SEZ) where incursions by private capital are masked under state-led development policies. The profusion of pharmaceutical factories and the concomitant corporate land grabs have led to the recalibration of peoples relations with land and the creation of a new layer of rural poor. The paper focuses on Setipool slum, east Sikkim located near two pharmaceutical factories to demonstrate the ways corporate land grabs have altered the relationships between people, land and the state in expected and unexpected ways. Ambiguous land rights and the establishment of pharmaceutical factories have led to spatially contained land booms in Setipool which replicate nexuses of illegality, claim-making and exclusions that are characteristic of corporate land grabs. Land grabs and different forms of intimate exclusions that have emerged within the slum challenge prior assumptions around local responses to corporate incursions and illustrates how even without dispossession, commodification of land can lead to different forms of access and exclusions.","PeriodicalId":391083,"journal":{"name":"Development Zones in Asian Borderlands","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127209698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While\u0000 economic logics consistently motivate and produce the development of\u0000 such zones, the resultant activities are always much more than economic.\u0000 That is, the development of development zones also sets in motion new\u0000 configurations of political power and socio-spatial domination. Following\u0000 this line of thinking, this chapter examines the proliferating development\u0000 of new import-export dry ports in the Nepal-China borderlands to\u0000 understand how geopolitical relationships are grounded, localised, and\u0000 reconfigured through infrastructural projects. Taking Nepal’s post-disaster\u0000 development landscape as both a point of departure and site of inquiry, I\u0000 show that the making of development zones in post-disaster environments\u0000 accomplishes interrelated objectives of state-led territorialisation and\u0000 economic expansion across a range of social and spatial scales.","PeriodicalId":391083,"journal":{"name":"Development Zones in Asian Borderlands","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131674460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extension of the SCM to the\u0000 borderland is an extension of zone-logic, enrolling the recalcitrant frontier\u0000 into economic networks that cross India. Through a reading of Imphal’s\u0000 smart city bid and implementation strategy, this chapter makes three\u0000 main arguments. First, unlike zone-making projects in other parts of Asia\u0000 where local elites, brokers, and/or local governments doggedly pursue the\u0000 granting of zones, the extension of the SCM to Imphal has been driven\u0000 more by obligation than desire. Second, the idea of an “open city” is counter\u0000 to the lived reality of surveillance, checkpoints, and limits on mobility\u0000 and assembly that characterise life in the city. Third, Imphal’s meagre\u0000 bid and lack of preparedness is barely relevant to the smart city award,\u0000 as the geopolitical imperatives outweigh all other factors.","PeriodicalId":391083,"journal":{"name":"Development Zones in Asian Borderlands","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134412032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
