SUMMARY:Resilient Ecologies and Urban Vulnerabilities in Thailand. Politics, Space, and Adaptation in the Anthropocene
LOCATION:Classroom B 50
DESCRIPTION:This panel examines how resilience, adaptation, and environment
 al justice are being reimagined in Southeast Asia amid intensifying climate
  disruptions, disaster risks, and developmental transformations. Across the
  region, “resilience” has become a buzzword in both urban planning and envi
 ronmental governance, often masking tensions between sustainability narrati
 ves and socio-political realities. The panel brings together case studies f
 rom Thailand that interrogate how governance systems, local communities, an
 d social movements negotiate the meanings and practices of resilience withi
 n urban and ecological landscapes.\nThe contributions move from the politic
 s of flood governance and urban green infrastructure to the redefinition of
  citizenship and civic participation in disaster contexts. Together, they i
 lluminate how disaster management and climate adaptation policies intersect
  with power, inequality, and everyday life. By engaging with frameworks of 
 political ecology, urban resilience, and governance, these studies reveal t
 he contradictions embedded in state-led adaptation strategies that privileg
 e economic stability and urban security over social inclusion and ecologica
 l justice.\nThrough diverse methodologies—ranging from mixed-methods disast
 er research to discourse and policy analysis—the panel explores multiple sc
 ales of resilience: from households and communities in flood-prone province
 s to metropolitan institutions in Bangkok and emerging civic spaces in sout
 hern Thailand. These empirical inquiries show that resilience in Southeast 
 Asia is not merely a technical process of infrastructure or risk management
  but a deeply political practice involving negotiation, resistance, and red
 efinition of human–nature relations.\nBy situating these cases within broad
 er regional and global debates on the Anthropocene and the depoliticization
  of adaptation, this panel contributes to rethinking resilience as both a m
 aterial condition and a moral–political project. It calls for critical refl
 ection on how Southeast Asian societies can move beyond resilience as survi
 val toward resilience as justice—grounded in inclusion, participation, and 
 coexistence.
