She first traces the political economy of historical evolution around land and labour relations under different regimes, starting from the pre-colonial era in the 1800s to the period of democratic transition and liberalization under the quasi-military/quasi-civilian government between 2011 to 2021.

She then goes on to analyze the contemporary land rushes that emerged after the 1994 ceasefire era and the 2010 state regime change.

In this way she examines how various features such as ceasefire capitalism, state territorialization, Burmanization, legacies of colonialism, geopolitics and development schemes have come to form the 'historical present' landscape.
