  • 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.

  • List of African-American Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of African-American Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. Recipients must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Because of the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of June 2009, 88 have been awarded to 87 different African American recipients.[2] Robert Augustus Sweeney is one of nineteen men, and the only African American, to have been awarded two Medals of Honor.[3] A 1993 study commissioned by the Army investigated racial discrimination in the awarding of medals.[4] At the time, no Medals of Honor had been awarded to black soldiers who served in World War II. After an exhaustive review of files, the study recommended that several black Distinguished Service Cross recipients be upgraded to the Medal of Honor. On January 13, 1997, President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal to seven African American World War II veterans; of these, only Vernon Baker was still alive.[4] Civil War Twenty-five African Americans earned the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War, including seven sailors of the Union Navy, fifteen soldiers of the United States Colored Troops, and three soldiers of other Army units.[2] Fourteen African American men earned the Medal for actions in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm, where a division of U.S.

  • Laos' New Leader to Play Balancing Act Between China and Vietnam
    NIKKEI ASIAN REVIEW 20 January 2021 Laos' new leader to play balancing act between China and Vietnam New secretary-general looks to largest lender Beijing despite strong ties with Hanoi MARWAAN MACAN-MARKAR, Asia regional correspondent BANGKOK -- As he steps into his role as the supremo of Laos' communist party, Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith faces a diplomatic brief with a twist: continuing to appear loyal to older ally Vietnam even as the economy of his impoverished, debt-ridden country is being underwritten by China, the increasingly assertive giant to its north. It is a delicate balancing act in Southeast Asia's communist-ruled backyard that Thongloun already had has a foretaste, say veteran political observers of Laos. After all, it was during his five-year term as the premier of the one-party state that China eclipsed Vietnam as landlocked Laos' leading lender, investor and builder. China also betters Vietnam as Laos' bilateral trading partner, coming second after Thailand. The 75-year-old Thongloun's work has been cut out for him following his elevation last week as the secretary-general of the ruling Lao People's Revolutionary Party at its three-day, quinquennial national party congress in Vientiane, the capital. The Russian-speaking and Soviet Union-educated Thongloun's promotion to the most powerful political post in the LPRP paves the way for his appointment as the country's next president this year. Thongloun, who served as foreign minister before beginning his one term as premier in 2016, succeeds the aging President Bounnhang Vorachit. The 83-year-old Bounnhang's term as the party supremo marked the last of the so-called generation of revolutionaries, who have dominated politics in the landlocked Southeast Asian country since 1975.

  • Presidente Vietnamita Termina Fructífera Visita Oficial a Laos
    Presidente vietnamita termina fructífera visita oficial a Laos Reunióon de alto nivel en parlamento laosiano Vientián, 10 ago (RHC) El presidente de Vietnam, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, completó hoy sus contactos con lo más altos dirigentes de Laos al reunirse en esta capital con el titular de la Asamblea Nacional, Saysomphone Phomvihane, y finalizar así su visita oficial a la nación indochina. Como en sus anteriores entrevistas con los líderes laosianos, Xuan Phuc reiteró la voluntad de Hanoi de llevar a planos más altos los vínculos de amistad y cooperación entre ambos países. En su primera salida al exterior desde que asumió el cargo, el jefe del Gobierno vietnamita concluye este martes una visita oficial a la vecina nación. Los dirigentes laosianos dijeron apreciar ese como un gesto revelador de la importancia que concede Vietnam a las relaciones bilaterales. Durante sus pláticas con Phomvihane, Xuan Phuc llamó a intensificar los intercambios entre los respectivos Legislativos y a que estos coordinen acciones para concretar los tratados políticos, económicos y de cooperación binacionales, así como sus posiciones en los foros interparlamentarios, regionales e internacionales. En la propia fecha asistió al primer período de sesiones de la Asamblea Nacional de Laos en su IX Legislatura, celebrado en un flamante edificio donado por Vietnam e inaugurado en ocasión de su visita. Ayer, el presidente vietnamita tuvo conversaciones oficiales con su homólogo laosiano y secretario general del Partido Revolucionario Popular Lao, Thongloun Sisoulith, con quien acordó llevar a planos más altos los vínculos de amistad y cooperación entre sus países. Los dos jefes de Estado convinieron instrumentar de manera expedita y efectiva el acuerdo de cooperación bilateral para el periodo 2021-2025, suscrito durante una visita de Sisoulith a Hanoi a fines de junio último.

I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work. ___________________________ ___________________ Anna Kemp Date Student ___________________________ ___________________ Professor Christopher Bellamy Date First Supervisor ___________________________ __________________ Dr Christopher Ware Date Second Supervisor ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis has greatly profited by the influence and support of many individuals. First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to Cranfield University at Shrivenham U.K. I am profoundly grateful to Professor Christopher Bellamy, both at Cranfield and Greenwich, for his contribution to my intellectual growth and unstinting inspiration in tackling a thesis on UXO, plus the encouraging discussions about the problems which have been treated in this work, and answering constant and probably banal questions from a student, who never served in the armed forces. After Professor Bellamy moved to Greenwich, no-one suitably qualified to supervise my research remained at Cranfield and I, too, transferred. I am also grateful to Professor Alan Reed, Chair of the University of Greenwich Research Degrees Committee for easing that process.
