Mekong Update 2026: Cross-cutting challenges in mainland Southeast Asia

This event is a collaboration between the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, and Thailand's Chulalongkorn University. 

After a period of relative peace and stable economic growth, the Mekong subregion is facing unwelcome new challenges, as interstate conflict reemerges and transnational crime flourishes. At the same time democratisation has stalled, authoritarian regimes are colluding and the effects of climate change are being felt.

In a conference sponsored by ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, and Thailand’s Institute of Asian Studies at Chulalongkorn University, scholars and experts will explore this complex policy landscape, encouraging conversation in an objective and constructive atmosphere.
