  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • The Tenth Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party
    Regime Renewal in Laos: The Tenth Congress of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party Soulatha Sayalath and Simon Creak Introduction The year 2016 was a crucial one in Laos. According to an established five-yearly cycle, the year was punctuated by a series of key political events, foremost among them the Tenth Congress of the ruling Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP). As on past occasions, the Tenth Party Congress took stock of the country’s political and economic performance over the previous five years and adopted the country’s next five-year National Socio-Economic Development Plan. Most importantly, it also elected the new Party Central Committee (PCC), the party’s main decision-making body, together with the Politburo, PCC Secretariat and secretary-general. The congress was followed in March by elections for the National Assembly, which henceforth approved party nominations for the president and prime minister, who in turn appointed a new cabinet. Throughout this process, Laos occupied the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), just its second time in the role, and in September played host to US President Barack Obama, the first sitting president to visit the country, when he joined the East Asia Summit. While all these events were important, most consequential was the process of party renewal that culminated with the congress. Given the LPRP’s grip on political power and the control its leaders exercise over Laos’ rich reserves of natural resources—the main source of the country’s rapid economic growth since the early 2000s—LPRP congresses represent critical moments of leadership renewal and transition.

  • Pasáson Bandá Phao – „Kmenový Lid“
    Laos patří mezi etnicky nejrozmanitější stá- ty na světě. Zhruba polovinu jeho obyvatel tvoří etnická majorita, Laové, zbytek je slo- žen z příslušníků desítek značně rozdílných etnických skupin. Význačnou část z nich tvoří tzv. horská etnika, v Laosu nazývaná pasáson bandá phao – „kmenový lid“. Ten vždy hrál důležitou roli v laoských společenských procesech. Horská etnika měla specifické postavení již v ekonomice a společnosti tradičních laoských knížectví, müangů, a v království „Milionů slonů“, Lan Sángu (1353–1707). Francouzská koloniální politika (1893–1954) se vůči těmto etnikům vyznačovala nezájmem a exploatač- ními strategiemi, jež vedly k jejich povstáním, spojeným s fenoménem mileniál- ních hnutí. Během 2. světové války a 1. války v Indočíně (1946–1954) Francouzi začali zařazovat horaly do paravojenských jednotek komandos. Zrodilo se rovněž moderní nacionalistické a levicové hnutí. V období královské vlády (1954–1973) prováděli jak Američané, tak komunisté z organizace Pathét Láo mobilizaci hora- LAOSU V STÁT ORSKÁ ETNIKA A H lů pro „tajnou válku v Laosu“. Těmito událostmi byla tragicky zasažena zejména etnická skupina Hmongů. Po nástupu komunistů k moci v roce 1975 vyvolala tvrdá politika laoské vlády sociální a hospodářskou krizi, která měla na život horalů tíživý dopad. Mnoho jich emigrovalo, v zemi operovaly protivládní partyzánské skupiny. Po odstartování vlny reforem ťin tanakán maj („nového myšlení“) v roce 1986 se hlavními tématy národnostní politiky laoské vlády staly likvidace ozbrojené opo- zice, přesídlování příslušníků horských etnik do nížiny, industrializace, omezová- ní kopaničářského zemědělství a produkce opia. Tyto projekty jsou nezřídka slabě zabezpečeny a vedou k destrukci tradičních komunit horalů. V horách se objevují antisociální jevy jako prostituce, obchod s lidmi, zneužívání drog.
