China's Hydro-politics in the Mekong explores the intricate
processes of conflict and cooperation over the use of water
resources in the Mekong river basin between upstream China and the
downstream countries of Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The
book tackles two gaps in the empirical literature: first, the
neglect of international hydro-politics as one specific and
increasingly important issue area of China's foreign policy
behavior, especially its neighborhood diplomacy; and second, the
disregard of China's role in Mekong River politics. In particular,
this book scrutinizes the 'spring 2010 Mekong crisis' and the
events surrounding it which led to a series of complex multi-level,
security-related interactions among various state and non-state
actors in the region, with China at the center. Analyzing this
crisis, the book not only employs securitization theory as its
theoretical framework and adds a couple of innovations to this
theory, but also gives a detailed account of China's
hydro-political behavior in one specific and particularly revealing
case study. Moreover, the book embeds China's Mekong hydro-politics
in the bigger picture of its (sub-)regional international affairs,
as the former does not take place in a vacuum, but rather is a part
of China's overall foreign relations with its neighbors. The book
acknowledges this link and provides new insights into the role of
hydro-politics and its relationship vis-a-vis other issue areas of
China's foreign policy.
