Cooperation and Conflict in Indochina: the Case of the Sub-Region of the Greater Mekong
Abstract
The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) initiative raises questions about political, economic and military variables. These data are considered fundamental for the development of defense projects in the member states and, therefore, constitute the basic element for understanding regional geopolitics. The objective of this article is to analyze the strategic sense and geopolitical implications in the GSM. Thus, the perspective put forward leads to reflection on strategic developments in the GSM should be based on political, economic and military aspects. The consideration of aspects related to regional geopolitics and the influence of power units that may interfere in the region, constitutes the central element for the understanding of the political, economic and military environment in the GSM.
