metadata.value: This paper aims to investigate the sub-regional integration dynamics exhibited in the Greater
  Mekong Sub-region (GMS) process and its impact on Thailand’s economic development. Subregionalism
  assumes that sub-regional integration processes are based on geographic proximity,
  local business and governmental actors, and a shared historical and cultural awareness.
  The GMS includes Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, which have
  been engaged in this cooperation since 1992. Among these countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand
  has the largest economy, and it has a strong interest in supporting sub-regional integration
  with the GMS countries, because it includes Thai national economic development policy
  and government projects, which are also supported by Thailand’s business sector. Indeed,
  there are clearly observable economic impacts, since Thailand’s border regions profit from a
  growing trans-border economy between Thailand and the other GMS countries. This paper
  will examine how the GMS Strategic Framework (SF) II (2012–2018) relates to Thailand’s development
  strategies and will analyse the implications with regard to economic corridor and
  transport development in the context of the 2012–2018 strategy. Such an enquiry is especially
  relevant considering that Thailand promotes the development of economic corridors and the
  facilitation of cross-border economic activities to link with neighbouring countries in terms
  of trade, investment, and tourism. However, by placing these developments in a contemporary
  historical context, we also have to evaluate Thailand’s early approaches to sub-regional integration
  processes within the Mekong area.
