Fluid Boundaries: Rethinking State Power, Resource Governance, and Territorialities in Maritime Spaces
Professor Po-Yi Hung’s talk explores the complex and evolving nature of maritime borders, focusing on how state power, resource governance, and territorialities are produced, contested, and reshaped in ocean spaces. Drawing on case studies from Taiwan’s offshore wind farm development, the politics of fisheries management, and the Taiwan–Japan fisheries agreement, the talk examines the tensions between economic use (such as green energy and fisheries) and ecological protection, showing how both depend on and reinvent maritime boundaries.
Po-Yi Hung is a professor of geography at National Taiwan University. He uses food, agriculture, and fisheries as lens to look into border and territoriality, mobility and infrastructure, nature and society. He has conducted research in Taiwan, China, the Highlands of Southeast Asia, and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The University of Washington Press will publish his forthcoming book, Routes of Taiwan Tea: Mobility, Borders, and Territoriality.
Bordering and debordering through water infrastructure - the case of Kinmen
Mei-huan Chen’s talk examines how water infrastructure has been deployed as a tool of both bordering and debordering on the Kinmen Islands. During the Cold War, Kinmen's water infrastructure was part of the bordering campaign for the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan) to counter Communist China. Today, a cross-strait pipeline transferring water from China's Fujian province to Kinmen serves as a debordering tool for the PRC.
