关于东南亚高地的研究和政策一般集中在文化多样性、保护和社区资源管理等问题上。本文主张重新定位分析，以突出由于高地地区土地分化过程而日益不平衡的土地、劳动力和资本获取。它借鉴了来自中苏拉威西两个地区的对比案例研究，以探索分化发生的过程，以及当地农业和定居历史在塑造农民对新市场机会的反应中的作用。小农们热情地放弃了他们多样化的耕作系统，把他们的土地和劳动力投入到一种新的全球作物——可可上，从而在资源获取和社会关系方面引发了一系列他们没有预料到的变化。从文化导向的政治经济学中提取的代理概念指导了对生计，土地权利和社区重构的斗争的分析，以及新的集体愿景出现的基础。
Research and policy concerning the Southeast Asian uplands have generally focused on issues of cultural diversity, conservation and community resource management. This article argues for a reorientation of analysis to highlight the increasingly uneven access to land, labour and capital stemming from processes of agrarian differentiation in upland settings. It draws upon contrasting case studies from two areas of Central Sulawesi to explore the processes through which differentiation occurs, and the role of local histories of agriculture and settlement in shaping farmers’ responses to new market opportunities. Smallholders have enthusiastically abandoned their diversified farming systems to invest their land and labour in a new global crop, cocoa, thereby stimulating a set of changes in resource access and social relations that they did not anticipate. The concept of agency drawn from a culturally oriented political economy guides the analysis of struggles over livelihoods, land entitlements, and the reconfiguration of community, as well as the grounds on which new collective visions emerge.
