[en] East—West economic Corridor (EWEC) is an economic development
program initiated at the Greater Mekong Subregion
(GMS) in Manila, the Philippines to promote development and
integration of four Southeast Asia Countries, Myanmar, Thailand,
Laos and Vietnam. Despite its significant contribution to
socio-economic development of the GMS since 2006, EWEC
has caused negative impacts on natural resources, particularly
forest coverage. This paper analyses the role of EWEC in production
and transportion, especially agricultural output to domestic
and international markets, and the sharp decline in forest
area along the Corridor.
