Dr. Sam Geall: how the one-party state, China, shapes the development of the Mekong River Basin
In this episode, Dr. Sam Geall joins GWF:s Jesper Svensson to discuss how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) shapes the development of the Mekong River. Dr. Geall says that China’s Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative is primarily driven by money and security but he hopes that inter-governmental organizations like the Mekong River Commission (RMC) and the Chinese LMC will not lead to a zero-sum game in the basin and region. www.globalwaterforum.org
