The expansion of commercial agriculture is one of the primary drivers of livelihood and land-use changes in the world. Globalisation and other factors have intensified this expansion to the point where booms in single cash crops overtake entire regions before going bust, a pattern that is particularly pervasive in resource frontiers. Using case studies across the Mekong Region, a place which serves as a harbinger for crop booms globally, we propose a new analytical framework for understanding and governing crop booms. We combine multiple theoretical approaches to study crop booms and draw on insights from case study work conducted across temporal and spatial scales. The framework consists of three components: 1) the nested nature of crop boom-bust trajectories, 2) the cyclical spatial and temporal patterns of crop booms, and 3) the variegated pathways and impacts of agrarian change. The framework presents new insights into the processes of agricultural intensification in frontier spaces. As such, it facilitates a better understanding of the drivers, characteristics and impacts of crop booms for researchers and decision-makers alike with the intention of supporting efforts to develop more sustainable pathways in the region and beyond.

We also thank the organisers of the EuroSEAS Conference in 2019 where these ideas first began percolating, as well as other participants and the active audience who attended and exchanged ideas throughout our multi-panel session entitled, “Crop Booms in Borderlands: Perspectives from Southeast Asia.” Louise Hedegaard Madsen was a source of great creativity and support in creating the figures included. We also thank Derek Hall for exchanging thoughts on the definition and regional distribution of literature on crop booms and the New Mandala blog hosted by Australia National University for publishing an early essay written by the authors on this topic.
