Transforming the edge: Socio-spatial governance and migrant place-making in Ho Chi Minh City
Since the Communist Party of Vietnam launched economic reform in 1986, the peri-urban areas of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) have undergone a significant transformation induced by unprecedented urban expansion and rural-urban migration. These internal migrants provide a large labor force for economic growth, and their settlements significantly impact peri-urbanization. The spontaneous practices in making migrants’ places intersect with the state-led production of space generated socio-spatial paradoxes and contradictions, highlighting that these locations become arenas for diverse agents involved in interweaved economic, political, cultural, and spatial processes associated with urban issues such as uneven development, marginalization, and social exclusion. Such complex practices, actors, and structures challenge reductionist views in urban politics/studies. This project analyzes and explains the process of peri-urbanization based on the “cultural political economy” (CPE) approach by studying dynamic socio-spatial production and governance related to problems of rural-urban migrant workers’ settlements on the urban edge. The insights CPE draws on the strategic-relational approach, state theory, regulation theory, and their institutional, spatial, reflexive, and cultural turns, alongside related mid-range concepts and Territory, Place, Scale, Network (TPSN) scheme, providing relative premises from which this study departs. By combining the aim of the CPE to study the variation, selection, and retention in producing (counter-)hegemonies and Lefebvrian-Foucauldian-Neo-Gramscian dialogue on urban (counter-)hegemonic struggles, an analytical framework is concretized and employed for analyzing socio-spatial production and governance practices, and mechanisms that they are selected in different patterns and sedimented in hegemonic, counter-hegemonic, and sub-hegemonic projects. Moreover, CPE’s roots in critical realism inform the appropriateness of critical grounded theory methods, which combine theoretical and fieldworks in ...
