Wheels within Wheels: Poverty, Power and Patronage in the Cambodian Migration System
提出一个调整后的柬埔寨劳动迁移系统理论，强调迁移是多尺度的、灵活务实的过程，受传统农村规范影响，并推动城乡社会变迁。
This article presents evidence for an adjusted and refocused systems theory of labour migration in Cambodia. Specifically, it seeks to highlight first, how migration in Cambodia may be understood as a multi-scalar phenomenon characterised by pragmatism and flexibility; secondly, it emphasises the undergirding role of traditional rural norms in shaping and mediating the systematic process of labour movement; and finally, it presents evidence concerning how these structures constitute a vessel of social change, not only from urban to rural, but also from the rural to urban. In this way, a picture is presented of Cambodian migration as an adaptable, but nevertheless highly patterned process which is rapidly reordering the Kingdom’s cities and villages alike.
