The Greater Mekong Sub-regional Security Cooperation Issues Of Water Resources Research

With the development of economic globalization and regional economic integration, regionalism is growing rise. Regional security and economic cooperation organizations, such as the European Union, North America, ASEAN, have established. In response to the wave of globalization, regional cooperation has become a general trend of world economic development. In Asia, the subregional economic and security cooperation is becoming a new form of regionalism, regional cooperation in the greater Mekong subregion is the attempts of regional cooperation in Asia.Mekong River rises in the North of China's tanggula, from North to South through the three provinces of Qinghai, Tibet, Yunnan province, China, as well as lower Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Thailand, Total of six countries, in Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh City into the sea in the West.This basin has the inland river, the boundary river and multi-country rivers in a variety of attributes,so development and management of water resources is complex. In order to protect the public interests of the basin, the basin countries are trying to find a suitable match for the actual situation of the basin States, easy-to-accept,the most effective water resources development and utilization of the programme. Currently there are four major mechanisms of cooperation:GMS, the ASEAN-Mekong Basin Development Cooperation, the New MRC, the Growth of the Four Corners. Among them, GMS is the main cooperation mechanism, as major components of the greater Mekong subregional economic cooperation.It contributed to the solution of the contradictions and differences between economic and social fields among States, so as to promote exchanges and cooperation of the member countries of economic, social fields. At present, the Greater Mekong Subregion has established a lot of cooperation mechanisms, but due to lack of authority and representation, the participation of countries outside this region lead to the complicated, the relative lack of NGO participation mechanisms, the existing security mechanisms'systems level is relatively low and the actual effect is very limited, especially for the settlement of the substantive issues there is a great lack of a serious impediment to the Greater Mekong Sub-regional water resources and security cooperation process. In-depth analysis of the shortcomings of the existing cooperation mechanisms, can be found that the main reason is:Great Mekong subregional differences between countries are larger, less homogeneous; In the Greater Mekong Sub-regional countries national sovereign consciousness is generally strong,concern for national interests more than the need for the overall interests of the Mekong River Basin;Extraterritorial powers of intervention has increased the complexity of the greater Mekong subregion regional security cooperation on water resources; The Greater Mekong Sub-regional water resources security cooperation lacks the multilateral principles and the system principle support; Greater Mekong Subregion countries in development of civil society is relatively backward, so the participation of NGO in the region is limited.Therefore, Greater Mekong Sub-regional water resources security cooperation must construct one kind of new government frame urgently, namely passes "the multi-layered government" the form, adjusts various mechanisms and various behaviors body relations, avoids many kinds of government mechanism in the effect overlapping diversion, enhances the cooperation efficiency, realization benefit sharing, simultaneously supervises various sovereign state the behavior, causes its decision-making and the motion scientific style, by impels this sub-region effectively the water resources security cooperation.
