Rapid economic growth coupled with current and projected climate risks are challenging livelihoods and ecosystems in the Mekong region. In some locations unsustainable development has created or deepened vulnerabilities to climate change as well as global, regional, and transborder socioeconomic processes. More accessible and appropriate information is urgently needed on ways to reduce the negative aspects of development and adapt to the impacts of climate change in this region. In this book, the Sustainable Mekong Research Network (SUMERNET) brings together multi-country studies, each of which included significant engagement with boundary partners, to analyze the impacts of, and ways to adapt to, climate risks and unsustainable growth in a highly interdependent region. This book improves our understanding of the linkages between drivers, opportunities, and constraints on the sustainability of the Mekong region's ecosystems--at the transborder, sub-national, and local levels. Economic integration, urbanization, and climate change have impacts that vary greatly among locations. Hence, one key lesson in this book is that it is important to tailor policies and actions to specific places and communities, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable sections of the population, and the capacities of local actors. These multi-site and -country case studies provide much stronger tests of the merits and limitations of common policies than studies carried out in a single country, underlying the benefits of collaborative research.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. xix+163 p., illustrations, bibliography, index. This is an indispensable contribution to the literature on the material culture of the peoples of Vietnam's Central Highlands. In addition to providing a great deal of new information on the textiles of the Êdê and Mnông, two of the most important ethnic groups in the Central Highlands, it also discusses baskets and architectural decoration. These and other peoples in the Central Highlands have a very rich traditional material culture that has been neglected in Southeast Asian literature to a great extent. The present work amply illustrates just how rich this tradition is and will help to draw attention to a heritage that is rapidly disappearing. Maps, drawings of patterns, black and white photographs, and over 200 color photographs accompany the text.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 375 pp., diagrams, maps, bibliography, index. Natural resources and ecosystem services have been seriously undervalued in development planning in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB), which spans Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Intensive agriculture has initially led to higher yields, a lower poverty rate, and economic growth. However, it is destroying the very resources it needs, such as water. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has contaminated soils and threatened critical inland fisheries. Significant coastal erosion, soil salinity, and deteriorating marine ecosystems and climate change add to an urgent need to take into account the value of ecosystem resources to improve policy-making. This volume presents up-to-date case studies and surveys trends and challenges for natural resource-based livelihoods by researchers and institutes collaborating across the LMB under the Lower Mekong Public Policy Initiative. Its recommendations include: coordinating national and trans-boundary water governance along the Mekong River; pursuing alternatives to massive hydropower expansion for Lao PDR; harnessing renewable energy for efficient and less polluting electricity generation in Vietnam; a fund to improve the health and yields of shrimp in aquaculture; diversifying mixed rice and aquaculture/fishing systems for economic sustainability and better incomes; improving choices, processing and markets for Cambodian rice farmers; adapting a national rural development program in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta; recognizing the adverse impacts of economic corridors on vulnerable forest-dependent populations; acknowledging, and supporting women in their changing economic roles; and empowering local government to help local communities deal with problems caused by a private rubber land concession in Cambodia.
