Discussions and Conclusions
Top-down style of policy implementation from the national to the district level is transformed into negotiation and adaptation processes at the hamlet level - ‘dialogue state’ (Kervliet 2001)
The interdependence between the state and farmers made the dialogue between them possible.
In public space, the “traditional”/cultural cooperation behaviour and the “new” individualism of market behaviour interact and form a bricolage (Cleaver 2012).

ZEF
Discussions and Conclusions
Cooperation and conflicts - the Mekong Delta is at a transitional period:
Remaining bad sentiment towards cooperation;
The choice for individualism in terms of profit;
The choice for cooperation as required for mechanized collective
farming and contracted sale.
What will happen next?! Independent individual farming or collective farming?
- It depends on the context – example: Thoi Lai district
