By planes, boats, buses, jeeps, motorbikes and 'tuk tuk' or a combination of some of them, 16 reporters and photojournalists from China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam spread out across the Greater Mekong Subregion in pursuit of cross-border stories, ranging from dams, commercial navigation, drugs, HIV/AIDS, culture or trade.

The product of their in-depth coverage — stories and photo essays produced under the IPS media fellowship programme 'Our Mekong: A Vision amid Globalisation' — are compiled in this book.

Through their pens and cameras, these journalists take us through a fast-changing corner of Asia — a combination of different political, socio-cultural and media environments, one that is both modern and traditional, urban and rural, linked by the Mekong river but also separated by it, increasingly integrated but also still restricted by borders and past conflicts.
