China’s Influence and Inter-State Relations in Mainland Southeast Asia (CLMVT) LOCATION:Classroom NT-115 DESCRIPTION:This panel explores China’s growing influence in Mainland South east Asia (CLMVT) through the lens of “borderland hegemony”—a concept that highlights the fluidity of sovereignty, the governance of liminal zones, an d the hybrid practices of regional power. Rather than viewing China’s engag ement as a top-down state project, the panel examines how its influence is negotiated, localized, and resisted through cross-border infrastructures, i nformal economies, and cultural interactions.\nBy focusing on Myanmar, Thai land, and Vietnam, the panel illustrates different forms of China’s presenc e—from strategic alliance and economic penetration to cautious resistance a nd adaptation. Collectively, the four papers aim to deepen theoretical unde rstanding of China’s regional order-building and contribute to comparative debates on asymmetric inter-state relations and transboundary governance in Southeast Asia.
