Their alleged untamed w ilderness and natural riches have been a powerful trope that served to legi timate population transfers, resource extraction, and the expansion of stat e control into remote regions, which are inhabited by local groups and wher e different land tenure rights overlap, producing questions over legitimate access to land and natural resources. Drawing on recent dynamic and proces sual understandings of frontiers (e.g. Geiger 2008, Acciaioli and Sabharwal 2017, Cons and Eilenberg 2019), this panel explores processes of frontieri zation and de-frontierization, highlighting the complex interplay between t he commodification of nature and state formation. Recently, Kelly and Pelus o (2015) have argued that the production of natural resources is closely li nked to local processes of state formation and that the forms of resource c ontrol\nand property arrangements are constitutive of state authority. At t he same time, they are important drivers of frontierization and de-frontier ization. Formal property rights for example form a basic prerequisite for t oday’s large-scale land acquisitions, pushing processes of frontierization, while the recognition of customary rights in the state legislation, may pr oduce overlapping or competing rights to land or may lead to de-frontieriza tion.\n\nThe panel wishes to emphasize the fluidity, complexity, and tempor al dynamics of state formation in frontier areas, where competition over re sources and land is high, the presence of the state is fragmented and uneve n, and new property systems and legal arrangements are in the making. In or der to develop a comparative perspective on such frontier dynamics, we invi te contributions from different resource frontiers throughout Southeast Asi a that explore how processes of resource-making are interrelated with state making projects, how particular state initiatives enable specific processe s of frontierization and de-frontierization, and how the people who live in places framed as frontiers, exercise agency in these processes.
