| Abstract | This article aimed to theoretically diagnose institutional bottlenecks and develop an Integrated Flood Collaborative Management Framework for Nong Khai Province, utilizing the Collaborative Governance Regime (CGR) lens. The study focused on the 2024 flood event, which shared characteristics with historical floods in 2008 and 2011 but was intensified by operational dynamics of transboundary water infrastructure in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). A qualitative research design was applied, combining systematic literature review, documentary analysis, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews with 26 key informants from government agencies, the private sector, and civil society. Content analysis was used to synthesize findings and identify gaps in existing disaster management systems. The results indicated that while national frameworks like the Thai government’s 20-Year National Strategy (2018–2037) emphasize sustainable development, a critical gap remains in the operationalization of these strategies at the local level. The analysis of the 2024 response revealed specific coordination failures between state and non-state actors, resulting in insufficient shelter provision and inadequate support for vulnerable groups. Consequently, the study proposes an integrated framework that proposes concrete governance mechanisms to institutionalize collaboration, addressing the specific challenges of cross-sectoral coordination to support resilient flood management in high-risk border areas. |
