Developing the Mekong : regionalism and regional security in China-Southeast Asia relations / Evelyn Goh - London : Routledge, 2007 - 71 p. - Adelphi papers. 387 .

A study of relations between China and Southeast Asia that suggests the focus on regionalism and regional security is unique among China's external relations. These themes are explored using the example of the Mekong River Basin development plans in which large scale projects are said to improve security concerns of the Mekong river countries. However this paper highlights the potential dangers and destabilising influences also inherent in such projects.
