Description
Summary:The paper discusses the evolution of regionalism in the Mekong region through the lens of liberal institutionalism. It argues regional institutions and mechanisms play a critical role in promoting regional cooperation, especially in socio-economic development andpoverty reduction,infrastructure development and connectivity, and environmental cooperation.
