Abstract
This paper takes a political ecology perspective to explore regional environmental governance. It is a background paper for the Mekong Regional Environmental Governance (MREG) project of the Resource Policy Support Initiative (REPSI). It assumes that ideal environmental governance processes would enable actors to understand different sustainability orientations, and would provide more equitable and informed debating, negotiating, decision-making, and implementation. “Desirable and possible ” features of such an environmental governance regime are proposed. Eight Greater Mekong case studies illustrate contemporary processes and the role of various actors operating within the overall institutional framework. It is argued that unless existing institutions become more flexible and adaptive, the desirable governance features will remain theoretically possible, but unattained. 1.
