Doi Ra

Doi Ra serves as a Visiting Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies (IISS), Erasmus University Rotterdam, within the Graduate School of Social Sciences. Their research spans transnational agrarian studies with emphatic focus on Southeast Asia and China.

Research interests center on agrarian transformations under global capitalism, particularly examining land tenure conflicts, migrant labor dynamics, and resistance to land grabs. Key thematic areas include:

• Myanmar-China comparative agrarian political economy
• Medium-scale land acquisition impacts
• Synergies between peasant and migrant labor systems
• Invisible coercion mechanisms in resource extraction

Publication trends reveal intensive collaboration with scholars like Borras, Wang, and Xu across 14 recent outputs (2025), predominantly in Globalizations and Agriculture and Human Values. Work consistently analyzes how global capital reshapes local agrarian societies through interconnected labor and land conflicts, with strong empirical grounding in Myanmar and Southern China.

No scientific awards or student supervision details are documented in available materials. Research appears supported through IISS institutional frameworks with evident international collaboration networks across 12 profile-matched scholars.
