Abstract
The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is an example of successful subregional cooperation in East Asia between the neighboring countries China, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, all of which are linked through trade, investment and people movements. This chapter asks whether the development of infrastructure in the GMS prompts the emergence of a pluralistic community in the sense of Karl W. Deutsch. It is argued that the increase of cross-border transactions between the GMS member countries creates a solid foundation for the evolution of a security community. After a brief analytical introduction, GMS infrastructure projects with a focus on sub-regional economic corridors are being examined.
