The Mekong Program on Water, Environment and Resilience (M-POWER) is a network of organizations and individuals collaborating to democratize water governance in the Mekong Region. Since 2006, M-POWER has developed and implemented a wide range of activities across Cambodia, southern China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Younger and older scholars, practitioners and ex-officials have probed water resources decision-making, prodded policy actors on their positions, and proposed ways for more inclusive, deliberative and adaptive water governance. Some of these engagements with the politics of infrastructure development and water resources management are reflected in analysis on the ecosystems, peoples, economies and politics of the Ayeyawady–Irrawaddy, Nu–Salween–Thanlwin, Chao Phraya, Lancang–Mekong and Red river basins
