This book analyses collaboration in the Greater Mekong
Subregion. It explores inter-state cooperation and the role of
subnational units (provincial and local governments) and
transnational actors (NGOs, firms) in building and maintaining the
subregion. It also considers the relationships between actors on
the three levels, their influences within the structures of
decision-making in the GMS, their policy pronouncements and roles
in the GMS.
After exploring the historical background of cooperation in the
GMS, the author discusses how far cooperation in the GMS has
developed from the mere promotion of the national interest of
individual states towards an institution as an independent actor
able to influence relationships between its member states instead
of only being influenced by them. Hensengerth scrutinises the
nature of GMS cooperation and the character and capabilities of the
institution of the GMS, exemplified by the bilateral relations
between China and Vietnam. Here, the study will combine the
analysis of subregionalism and institution-building in the GMS with
an analysis of China-Vietnam relations by combining theoretical
approaches to regional integration in the form of the regime
approach with foreign policy analysis
This book will appeal to academics within international
relations, Southeast Asian regional and China or Vietnam country
specialists.
