Abstract

This chapter identifies the current and potential challenges arising from the creation of Special Economic Zones among the least developed countries of the GMS (Myanmar, Cambodia, and Lao PDR). A comparative approach is useful to analyse the challenges faced by several major SEZs now operating in each of these countries, in the context of each country's zone policy, governance, development objectives, development progress, and problems. The goals of this comparative study are to show the similarities and differences among the SEZs in the sub-region, to look for potential strategies for the three target countries to address the problems, and to help the sub-region, as a whole, to adopt a cohesive strategy to address common challenges.
