Abstract

How can we remove barriers regarding the cross-border electric power trade between Myanmar and Thailand for the promotion of power integration? While Myanmar has traded electricity with China, the bilateral power trade with Thailand has made little progress. Taking some cases such as Dawei, through stakeholder meetings and focus group interviews, using the frameworks derived from a UN literature survey, we have identified the characteristics of distinctive barriers related to fuel types. While coal-fired power projects tend to experience more issues related to economic barriers, hydropower projects are likely to face social barriers, often interrelated with environmental issues. As both barriers are embedded within insufficient legal arrangements, legal technical assistances are crucially required.

与缅甸的跨境电力贸易:从泰国人的角度看障碍及其消除

我们如何消除缅甸和泰国之间跨境电力贸易的障碍，以促进电力一体化？尽管缅甸与中国进行了电力贸易，但与泰国的双边电力贸易进展甚微。以大伟等一些案例为例，通过利益相关者会议和焦点小组访谈，使用联合国文献调查得出的框架，我们确定了与燃料类型相关的独特障碍的特征。虽然燃煤发电项目往往会遇到更多与经济障碍有关的问题，但水电项目可能会面临社会障碍，这些障碍往往与环境问题相互关联。由于这两个障碍都存在于不充分的法律安排中，因此迫切需要法律技术援助。

期刊介绍： The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy issues facing nation states and national and supranational organisations, including governments, and how these diverse groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens; and that, despite national differences, the actions of nation states are constrained by policies determined by supranational bodies, some of which are not directly accountable to any international body.
