    The aim of this paper is to identify the socioeconomic factors that facilitated the market competitiveness of two rural household industries, the hand-weaving and garment industries, in northern Thailand. From the mid-1980 the region witnessed the dynamic growth of these industries in concurrence with the emergence of large-scale factories. In this situation, rural entrepreneurs created appropriate new strategies for placing their products on the urban and even overseas markets rather than staying within the existing social structure.
     We conclude that: 1) rural household industries had a comparative advantage in labor management over their modern counterparts, but at the same time they faced marketing difficulties; and 2) the relational contracting system—in the form of either the putting-out or the advance-order systems—was a device that allowed rural household industries to overcome marketing difficulties. At the same time, it was also device for their largescale counterparts to overcome difficulties in labor management.
     Due to an increase in real wages and the currency crisis of 1997,many modern garment enterprises have recently closed down. The rural garment industry is on the verge of annihilation, whereas the rural weaving industry has survived.

    This paper discusses four characteristics of agricultural development in West Java from the early 18th to the early 19th century:
     1. West Java's agricultural development in this period meets the four criteria established by I. Wallerstain [1989] for “incorporation” into the modern world system, although he did not mention Southeast Asia. The development in West Java, however, differed in that people there were mostly able to join in and opt out of cash crop cultivation in accordance with their own interests, in contrast with Wallerstain's cases, especially in India, where people had no choice.
     2. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) seems to have “incorporated” West Java not because of the Company's military and economic dominance, but because of its insufficiency. In the 18th Century, Chinese merchants and workers were very active in cash crop cultivation in East and Southeast Asia. The VOC was not powerful enough to expel or defeat the Chinese merchants in West Java, nor could it control the native people without the cooperation of local Chinese merchants. It seems to have been obliged to strengthen its coffee monopoly in order to defend its coffee profits from Chinese commercial power.
     3. M. C. Hoadley's “feudal mode of production” theory [1994] is severely called into question by the case of the Tjianjur regency. Hoadley claims that the “feudal mode of production” was established in West Java in the middle of the 18th century. But there is no evidence that a dominant landlord class existed in the early 19th century. On the contrary, cultivators held paddy fields that they had cleared themselves or inherited from their fathers. Was the “feudal mode of production” there so weak that it had declined quickly by the early 19th century?
     4. West Java is located in the eastern border of Takaya's “Western Insular Eco-area.” In other words, West Java is a transition area, which has a rich variety of topography, flora and fauna. Without these natural conditions, the VOC could not have introduced and monopolized coffee production.

    This paper describes a socio-historical investigation into the local fermented food, cao, which is widespread in the fishing communities scattered through the Makassar Straits, South Sulawesi. The ingredients of cao are local fish (mairo, lure), cooked rice, salt and malted rice. The fermentation is produced by malted rice, which is thought to have been introduced from southern China.
     In this area, people have long engaged in trepang fishing and its trading. For centuries, trepang was a leading maritime product with a high market price in Southeast Asia. Cao was formerly indispensable on fishing expeditions, being convenient to cook on board ship. Wives of punggawa, owner or captain, of trepang fishing ship would prepare enough cao for sawi, crew while their a few months long expedition. In recent decades, however, trepang fishing has declined because of overfishing, it has been replaced by another exportoriented maritime product, ikan sunu. With the drastic influx of foreign modal on ikan sunu fishing in early 1990s, the activities on board ship has changed more practical. Because of its more convenience, instant noodles have replaced cao.
     However, women on a small island in the Supermonde Archipelago, the Makassar Straits, have found other uses of cao. Some women have seen commercial value in it and started to sell it on the island. Others cook it when fish vendors do not visit during the rainy season or around full moon nights. Others take cao as a gift when they visit relatives outside the island. By describing such changes in the socio-economic significance of cao, daily life on the small island in the Makassar Straits is depicted.

    Over the past few years, transnationalism and network analysis have received increasing attention among students of the Chinese Diaspora in the Asia-Pacific. Yet the two subjects have been treated separately and the existing literature tends to focus on the personal/informal dimensions of Chinese (transnational) business networks, paying little attention to their historical precedents and formal institutionalization. Using the influential Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) as a case study, this paper attempts to establish the historical linkages between organized Chinese transnationalism and the institutionalization of business networks. It aims to broaden the horizons of existing scholarship on personal and informal patterns of Chinese transnationalism by delineating the complex mechanisms and agencies through which SCCCI was vitalized and connected to the institutionalizing, regionalizing—and, eventually, globalizing—processes of multi-dimensional Chinese social and business networks in Asia.

    A study on cassava plantation area and production was conducted in the northeast region of Thailand using an integrated Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Although, SRS and GIS are considered as the efficient tools for resource inventorying and monitoring, little work has been done in Thailand with regards to the large area crop monitoring and production estimation. The objective of the study was to explore the use of NOAA-AVHRR data for mapping cassava plantation areas. GIS was employed to create geographical database, such as soils, topography, land use and also for improving the results of image classification. The study conducted for the two crop seasons of 1995 and 1996 indicated that the NOAA-AVHRR data can be used to map the cassava plantation areas at the regional scale in Thailand. The results of the study were compared with existing cassava statistics produced from the Thai Tapioca Development Institute (TTDI) and the Office of Agricultural Economics (OAE), Thailand. The estimated cassava plantation areas from the study were underestimated by—9.7 and—16.4 percent to that of TTDI and OAE, respectively for 1995 and overestimated by 4.0 percent but underestimated by—14.4 percent, respectively for the year 1996.
