澜湄合作机制是由中、老、柬、泰、越、缅六国自愿发起的新型次区域合作机制,旨在促进次区域经济发展,提高人民福祉。老、柬、泰、越、缅五国所在的中南半岛地区是推进“一带一路”建设的重要战略依托。澜湄合作机制建设取得了不少进展,但也面临不少挑战,比如域内新老机制存在交叉和重叠、湄公河国家投资环境恶劣、非传统安全形势严峻、域外大国介入、政治风险。可以通过加强战略对接、重点建设惠民项目、优化澜湄合作机制在中南半岛的推进策略、妥善处理域内新旧机制之间的关系、淡化政治和地缘意识、加强人文和社科领域的合作来不断发展和完善。“一带一路”背景下的澜湄合作机制将在促进区域内六国合作上发挥重要作用。
<<The Lancang-Mekong Cooperation(LMC)mechanism is a new sub-regional cooperation mechanism initiated by China,Laos,Cambodia,Thailand,Vietnam and Burma. It aims to promote the development of the sub-regional economy and enhance people’s well-being. The Indochina Peninsula where the other five countries lie in is an important strategy support to promoting “the Belt and Road”. Much progress has been made between China and the other five countries,but LMC also faces many challenges,for example,the old and new mechanisms are crossed and overlapped in this area,the Mekong states’ investment environment is terrible,the non-traditional security situation is severe and the intervention of outside power makes the operation of LMC faces political risks. This paper puts forward some suggestions on the existing problems,including Strengthening strategic docking,focusing on projects of public welfare,optimizing the LMC’s promotion strategy in Indochina Peninsula,properly handling the relationship between old and new mechanisms within this area,diluting the political and geopolitical consciousness and strengthening cooperation in the humanities and Social Sciences. Finally,this paper concludes that,with the continuous improvement and development of LMC,LMC will play an increasingly important role in promoting cooperation among the six countries.
