澜沧江—湄公河流域水资源国际合作的动因、基础与路径选择

International Cooperation along the Lancang-Mekong Basin: Motivation, Foundation and Path

澜沧江—湄公河流域水资源开发是目前中国与中南半岛国家间关系发展的焦点问题之一。中国开发跨界水资源活动应充分运用国际法规则拓展在国际社会的认可度与支持度。建立在国际合作原则基础上的水资源合作机制是化解上游国困境的基本途径,也是实现水资源公平合理利用的理想模式。构建澜湄水资源合作机制能够使中国成为水资源国际合作制度的主动建构者,并且创新水资源国际合作制度,促进和完善国际法治,与"一带一路"倡议及澜湄国家命运共同体格局形成互补互进的配合机制。

Utilization of transboundary water resources along the Lancang-Mekong Basin has become the focus of national interests between China and the Indo-China Peninsula countries in recent years. China could proactively express its opinion through international law rules with respect to water resources development activities. The water resources cooperation mechanism based on the principle of international cooperation is the basic way to resolve “upstream dilemma” and is an ideal model for achieving fair and rational use of water resources. China s leading role in the “Lancang-Mekong Water Resources Cooperation Mechanism” can enhance China s status in the international cooperation system, as well as complement the “Belt & Road Initiative” and the Destiny Community Concept. That cooperation mechanism will ultimately promote China to transit from a passive recipient of the international water resources cooperation system to an active constructor.
