| Summary |
The large market size and abundant resources of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) - including a large, motivated, and cheap workforce, a rich agricultural base, extensive timber and fisheries resources, considerable potential mineral resources, and vast energy resources - have seen the subregion increasingly recognized as a new frontier of Southeast Asian economic strength. This book aims to assess the recent economic, social, and political developments in the GMS and identify emerging opportunities and challenges facing the successful transition towards a market-driven economy |
