“…Even though the literature above discusses cooperation in the Mekong region, they do not specifically address the overlapping institutions. Furthermore, Li and Li (2019) mention the existence of overlapping institutions in their work, but they focus solely on LMC and do not explore the interactions between them. This article fills the void left by the previous study, which focused more on the overlapping institutions in the Mekong.…”

The Mekong region is strategic in terms of economics and geopolitics. Besides being home to mainland Southeast Asia countries, external state actors play around in the region, such as the United States, Japan, Korea, and India. They established institutions as a cooperation framework to maximize the region's potential. Over time, ASEAN remains the central organization for cooperation in East Asia, but the numerous cooperations in the Mekong will have implications for ASEAN. This article aims to provide an overview of the dynamics of overlap institutions in the Mekong Region, focusing on ASEAN's position in these cooperative efforts. The overlap institution is used as a conceptual framework. This article applies a qualitative method with secondary data. The Mekong region has multi-membership because the interests of the major actors and countries are intertwined. Therefore, they are trying to open up new opportunities by forming other institutions. In addition, the dynamic will shake East Asia's regional integration.

“…The Greater Mekong Subregion is a bridge that connects China's southwestern region and Southeast Asian countries. The effective utilization and protection of forest resources and ecological restoration have increasingly become a hot topic in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin, especially the poverty problem [37]. In addition, Yunnan, as a frontier province of the Lancang-Mekong poverty reduction cooperation, is actively engaged in poverty reduction strategies with Mekong countries and continuously promotes the sustainable development of forestry in the Greater Mekong Subregion.…”

This paper uses a questionnaire and interviews from households in ethnic minority areas of the Jianchuan County (Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture) and Pingbian County (Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture) in Yunnan Province to explore the willingness of foresters to manage forests. Using the Sustainable Livelihoods Analysis framework, we select three indicators including the variables of individual social economic attributes, the cognition and experience of forest landowners, and policy guidance. We use a binary logistic regression model to analyze the factors affecting the willingness of foresters to participate in forest management. Through the above analysis, we found the following: (1) Forest landowners’ willingness to engage in forest management in ethnic minority regions is relatively high, at 71.98%. (2) Variables of individual social economic attributes have the most significant degree of influence on the willingness to engage in forest management. (3) Standard of living and the woodland area have a significant positive effect on forest land management intentions, while education level, whether they are compensated by public welfare forests, and whether they have participated in the project of returning farmland to forest and grassland have a significant negative effect on management intentions. (4) There are significant differences between forest landowners’ willingness to engage in forest management and the influencing factors between minority regions and non-minority regions.

The present work aims to find the optimal solution of Nash Equilibrium (NE) in the traditional Game Theory (GT) applied to water resources allocation. Innovatively, this paper introduces Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) into GT to propose a cooperative game model to solve the NE problem. Firstly, the basic theory of the PSO algorithm and cooperative game model is described. Secondly, the PSO-based cooperative game model is explained. Finally, the PSO-based cooperative game model is compared with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to test the performance. Besides taking the countries in Lancang Mekong River Basin as the research object, this paper discusses each country’s water consumption and economic benefits under different cooperation patterns. Then, a series of improvement measures and suggestions are put forward accordingly. The results show that the average server occupancy time of the PSO-based cooperative game model is 78.46% lower than that of GA, and the average waiting time is 79.24% lower than that of the GA. Thus, the model reported here has higher computational efficiency and excellent performance than the GA and is more suitable for the current study. In addition, the multi-country cooperation mode can obtain more economic benefits than the independent water resource development mode. This model can quickly find the optimal combination of 16 cooperation modes and has guiding significance for maximizing the benefits of cross-border water Resource Utilization. This research can provide necessary technical support to solve the possible contradictions and conflicts between cross-border river basin countries and build harmonious international relations.
