One finds these patterns across the region, including in Special Economic Zones and in urban spaces amidst development projects tha t transform the built and natural environments, displacing lower-income res idents while projecting images of employment opportunities, and luxury and middle class lifestyles (Harms 2016). As well, borderlands in mainland Sout heast Asia have long reflected sites of displacement, precarious labor, tra nsportation and logistics nodes, and infrastructural projects aimed at crea ting productive linkages for capital (Campbell 2018, Hirsch 2009, Glassman 2010). Amidst these trends there are numerous logics that reflect expert kn owledge deployed to govern the populations and relations that are surplus t o national and regional imaginaries, that feature as disposable or flexible labor, or, conversely, those who constitute a desired market (Li 2016). Th ese include the logics of investors, developers, and employers, but also hu manitarian actors, development agencies, and local authority figures who ar e all, at times, “managing” the same populations. \n\nIn this p anel, we seek to explore the myriad entanglements that lie at the intersect ion of these logics in Southeast Asia, and analyze, in particular, the ways in which communities and individuals who are grappling with dispossession and insecurity in various contexts navigate forms of governance that coales ce as assemblages that imply a kind of precarious political subjectivity. A t the heart of our focus is an interest in the contradictions that ensnare the very idea of connectivity in Southeast Asia. That is, at the same time that infrastructural and logistical plans and development offer an imaginar y of borderless economic corridors and urban centers buzzing with global li nkages, this panel’s various papers note the numerous ways in which p opulations encounter the kinds of disconnection, differentiation, “so cial separateness,” and incommensurability that accompany capital acc umulation (Gilmore 2002, Melamed 2015). And yet, as we show, populations r endered separate, surplus, or “non-market subjects” maintain an d produce alternative forms of connectivity that, ultimately, are part of t he constellation of relations and discourses which play a role in the produ ction of social space.
