Abstract
Presented analysis is focused on the role of criminal groups in water resources development in Myanmar and contemporary political-security challenges in the Golden Triangle. In this paper, we use concept of hydrocracy in which we try to point out what influence possess criminal groups (so called „subversive hydrocracy“) on water resources management and why these groups belongs to essential part of water governance in the borderlands of China, Myanmar, Thailand and Laos. In order to deepen our analysis we also use interviews with local communities, NGOs, governmental officers,technicians from energy companies, soldiers and policemen which we conducted during our research trips in China and Myanmar between 2017 and 2018.
