This paper is a conceptual study that attempts to analyse the possible effects of
the development of the Kra Isthmus Canal on ASEAN relations. The Kra Canal would constitute
a mega-project, a passageway that would connect the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand
at the Isthmus of Kra, Thailand. Although the proposed Kra Canal is projected to provide
many economic and trade benefits to Thailand, and to the region as a whole, steps
toward its development have yet to be taken. There has been much debate over the costs
for trade, the costs for the environment, national and regional security concerns,
as well as major concerns related to political and economic relations in the region.
Therefore, one of the main purposes of this study is to contribute to the debate on
the possible impact of the devel-opment of the Kra Canal on ASEAN’s regional relations.
In particular, it proposes that the development of the Kra Canal could threaten regional
solidarity as it would physically divide maritime Southeast Asia from main-land Southeast
Asia, which would ultimately result in an economic, cultural and political divide
of ASEAN itself.... weniger
