While there has been increasing scholarship exploring the social, cultural, and political dimensions of climate change migration, there is to date limited research situating climate migration studies within geopolitical history and land struggles, particularly in post-conflict states like Cambodia. Four decades after the Khmer Rouge genocide (1975–1979) ended, rural migration and land struggles remain a central aspect of Cambodia's political and economic life. Since the beginning of the Cambodian civil war (1970), rural populations have repeatedly been forced to move from their land. However, the geopolitical dimension of land has not been widely considered in current climate change migration literature. To explore these dynamic relationships between land, migration, and geopolitical history, this paper investigates both historical narratives and everyday relationships with land of land(less) migrants in Veal Veaeng District, Western Cambodia, a former war zone and a Khmer Rouge stronghold during the 1980s and 1990s. This paper argues that political history plays a vital role in defining migration trajectories in Cambodia, especially how historical factors define land struggles. Through exploring migrants and land frontier dynamics, this paper discovers that poor peasants have been forced between labour markets and land frontiers.

冲突后国家的气候变化移民:通过地缘政治历史和土地斗争了解柬埔寨的移民叙事

虽然探索气候变化移民的社会、文化和政治维度的学术研究越来越多,但迄今为止,将气候移民研究置于地缘政治历史和土地斗争中的研究还很有限,特别是在柬埔寨等冲突后国家。红色高棉种族灭绝(1975-1979)结束四年后,农村移民和土地斗争仍然是柬埔寨政治和经济生活的核心方面。自柬埔寨内战(1970 年)开始以来,农村人口一再被迫离开他们的土地。然而,目前的气候变化移民文献并未广泛考虑土地的地缘政治维度。为了探索土地、移民和地缘政治历史之间的这些动态关系,本文调查了 1980 年代和 1990 年代柬埔寨西部 Veal Veaeng 区(一个前战区和红色高棉据点)的历史叙述和与土地(较少)移民的土地的日常关系。本文认为,政治历史在定义柬埔寨的移民轨迹方面起着至关重要的作用,尤其是历史因素如何定义土地斗争。通过探索移民和土地边界动态,本文发现贫困农民被迫在劳动力市场和土地边界之间流动。尤其是历史因素如何定义土地斗争。通过探索移民和土地边界动态,本文发现贫困农民被迫在劳动力市场和土地边界之间流动。尤其是历史因素如何定义土地斗争。通过探索移民和土地边界动态,本文发现贫困农民被迫在劳动力市场和土地边界之间流动。
