The Mekong River has been a main source of conquest, conflict, and cooperation in
the Southeast Asian region. Much has been written on the vital and critical importance
of the Mekong River fresh water to the sustainable economic development of the Mekong
Delta. This book selects the Mekong Delta as a case study of regional cooperation
for water and food security for not only for Vietnam but also for the world in a new
century of global economy. It focuses not only on the Mekong Delta as an integral
part of the River but also on Can Tho City and its 12 provinces that produce over
50 percent of the country's rice output and 60 percent of total fishery output. The
book takes a micro approach to examine how each province is adapting to the twin threats
of mainstream dams construction and climate change, reducing fresh water flows and
increasing saline infusions on its present and future economy. Finally, it reviews
the roles of international institutional arrangements, namely the Mekong Committee
and the Mekong River Commission, in promoting regional cooperation among the riparian
states for political and economic development of the Mekong Delta
