Panel title:
Reconsidering global capitalist zoning – new anthropologies of special economic zones
Panel short abstract:
The papers in this panel engage with temporal and spatial ways of zoning capitalist exploitation in specially designated regions for export-oriented development. We invite papers that engage with and/or go beyond existing concepts in the anthropology of capitalist zoning.
Panel Text:
Export processing zones (EPZs) and special economic zones (SEZs) are a striking phenomenon in twentieth and twenty-first century capitalism. Recent estimates number the zones at more than 3,500 in more than 130 nations employing more than 70 million workers.
Ever since the world’s first EPZ was set up in 1947, tax incentives for investors, state investments in industrial infrastructure, low wages and discrimination against mainly young women workers have antagonised public opinion.
Some see EPZs as necessary sacrifices for economic development, others see them as emblems of new imperialism. Recently such debates did flare up when it was proposed to turn the entire Peloponnesian region into a special economic zone to get the Greek economy back on track and when more than 1,000 Bangladeshi garment workers died in a bonded warehouse zone factory.
The papers in this panel engage with the history of EPZs, SEZs, and related ways of zoning capitalist exploitation in time and space such as industrial zones, parks and specially designated regions for export-oriented development both in rural and urban contexts. We invite papers that engage with and/or go beyond existing concepts in the anthropology of capitalist zoning – graduated sovereignty, international divisions of labour, regulationism and neoliberalism.
In short, the panel brings together papers grounded in ethnographic material that propose new approaches to a phenomenon of global relevance and address academic and public issues of the present, such as social inequality, industrial labour relations, modes of production and their interactions, coexistence and arrangements.
