The Mekong River has been a main source of conquest, conflict, and
cooperation in the Southeast Asian region. Much has been written on
the vital and critical importance of the Mekong River fresh water
to the sustainable economic development of the Mekong
Delta. This book selects the Mekong Delta as a case study of
regional cooperation for water and food security for not only for
Vietnam but also for the world in a new century of global economy.
It focuses not only on the Mekong Delta as an integral part of the
River but also on Can Tho City and its 12 provinces that produce
over 50 percent of the country’s rice output and 60 percent of
total fishery output. The book takes a micro approach to examine
how each province is adapting to the twin threats of mainstream
dams construction and climate change, reducing fresh water flows
and increasing saline infusions on its present and future economy.
Finally, it reviews the roles of international institutional
arrangements, namely the Mekong Committee and the Mekong River
Commission, in promoting regional cooperation among the riparian
states for political and economic development of the Mekong Delta.
