The Mekong River is a vital and valuable resource, with huge
development potential for the six states through which it flows.
Given the significant asymmetry of power between those states,
however, there is a real risk that some might utilise it to the
detriment of others. Without a sense of regional belonging, it is
difficult to imagine that these states and their constituent
communities will take regional imperatives to heart, participate in
joint regulatory frameworks, or adopt behaviours for
upstream-downstream and lateral cooperation over the appropriation
and use of their shared resources. How effectively has closer
interdependence of the Mekong countries accommodated the
development of a political-social-cultural space conducive to the
growth of a regional "we-ness" among not only political elites, but
also the general public? The contributors to this volume approach
this question from a range of directions, including the impacts of
tourism, regional development programmes, the Mekong Power Grid,
and Sino-US rivalry. This edited volume presents valuable insights
for scholars of international relations, Asian studies, development
studies, environment studies, policy studies, and human geography.
