Changing practices of capitalism have produced new forms of connections, flows and mobilities in Asia, and they intersect with the increased use of “exceptions” or “special rules” to maximize capitalist profits. Ranging from the Greater Mekong Sub-region and the ASEAN Free Trade Area to the more recently opened Shanghai Free-Trade Zone, many Asian countries have benefited from such special zones in recent decades, the use of which has become a staple strategy to achieve economic reform and industrial development through attracting foreign capital. By focusing on sites of tourism as spaces of exception, this special section sheds light on the versatility of the concept of “making special” or “making exceptional,” and its potential to transform fundamentally notions such as sovereignty, labor, subjecthood, and mobility.

介绍亚洲交通和特殊空间的特别部分

不断变化的资本主义实践在亚洲产生了新的联系、流动和流动形式，它们与越来越多地使用“例外”或“特殊规则”以最大化资本主义利润相交叉。从大湄公河次区域和东盟自由贸易区到最近开放的上海自由贸易区，许多亚洲国家在近几十年来都从此类特区中受益，利用特区已成为实现经济增长的主要战略。引进外资进行改革和产业发展。通过将旅游景点作为例外空间，这一特殊部分阐明了“制造特殊”或“制造特殊”概念的多功能性，以及它从根本上改变主权、劳动、主体性和流动性等概念的潜力.
