Description

Explore the complex dynamics of water resource management in Southeast Asia with Contested Waterscapes in the Mekong Region: Hydropower, Livelihoods and Governance. Published by Routledge, this text examines the vast catchment area spanning China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. As governments, companies, and banks drive investments in infrastructure, the water resources of the Mekong region face increasing competition. From the Irrawaddy and Nu-Salween in the west to the Lancang-Mekong and Red River in the east, the landscape is changing through new roads, dams, irrigation schemes, and power plants. This book looks at how these conventional development projects impact the region. Readers will gain a better understanding of how large-scale interventions like navigation facilities and diversions affect local livelihoods and regional governance. It provides a detailed look at the tension between development goals and the management of vital water systems across these diverse nations.
