Regional Corridors Development in Regional Cooperation
Srivastava, Pradeep | May 2011
Abstract
Regional corridors are popular components of regional cooperation initiatives and
have been in use for several years. Yet discussion about development of these
corridors tends to be relatively general in scope and difficult to pin down in terms
of content and implications. This paper elaborates on a simple framework for
regional corridors development in the context of regional cooperation, anchored
on two dimensions of these corridors: the extent to which they are national or
regional and the area of their utilization. The framework is subsequently applied
to the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) regional cooperation program, yielding
several implications for its future. The GMS program needs to redefine what
constitutes a regional project and to formulate a regional master plan for further
development of GMS regional corridors. The framework is also applied toward
identifying an appropriate methodology for monitoring performance of regional
corridors.
