Research Abstract |
Two international symposiums were held under this pilot and coordinating project. First symposium, entitled "Mekong River Development Viewed from Yunnan, China", focused on policy and current situation of development in Chinese part of Mekong river. Backed by the growth of her domestic economy, China is trying to have access to Southeast Asia, and Mekong river development project is regarded as a driving force. For the countries downstream, China's development policy is still regarded as a promise, an anxiety and even a threat, especially when environmental issues are concerned. More dialogues and exchange of information are needed between China and other riparian countries. Second symposium "Mekong Spirit: The Cliche" in new Concepts" were so planed, inviting research scholars as well as NGO members and governmental officers from all riparian countries. Several issues were emerged from two symposiums to be discussed further. (1)As for dam construction particularly, the former, now out-of-dated and impertinent, plan constraints proper development. Partial realization of plan often made the situation worse. (2) Regional confrontations are still potential, however (and therefore), the system to share information or views on development are urgently needed. "Governance"' and "Regionalism" might be key concept for this. (3) China becomes de facto key player, considering her geo-political and economical influence in the region. (4) The system should be bottom-up-ways to reflect local perspectives for development and environmental conservations.
