Building Competitiveness Through Cross-border Cooperation in Cambodia and Thailand, Journal of GMS Development Studies, Vol. 1, pp. 31-44

Abstract
This paper describes the preliminary results of efforts to build competitiveness in the inland fishery industry of Cambodia through cooperation with the fishery industry of Thailand. The basic presumption was that intra-industry cooperation across countries — between a more developed country and a less developed one — would benefit both industries and countries and yield joint gains. The willingness of stakeholders within the Cambodian industry to change was augmented by the presence of facilitators who acted as change agents. The efforts and study covered the period from early 2003 up to mid-2004. Since building competitiveness is a long-term effort, no firm conclusions can be derived about the effects on the Cambodian industry; however, the title of this paper indicates the tentative conclusion is positive
