Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith tackled key problems of Lao governance and economy — most notably corruption and illegal logging — earning him both domestic and international approval. However, Laos is still facing numerous socio-economic challenges such as weak legal institutions, poverty, environmental degradation, and a civil society subdued. According to the 8th Five-Year National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2016–20), Lao economic politics is focused on graduating from the status of being a least developed country (LDC), not least through mega projects like hydropower dams, mines and large-scale infrastructure projects — negative social and ecological side effects notwithstanding. China and many ASEAN countries compete in large-scale investment in these fields. The Lao–Chinese railway linking Kunming with Vientiane is a case in point. This chapter gives an overview of political and economic tendencies in the Lao PDR at the beginning of the new five-year cycle.","PeriodicalId":21900,"journal":{"name":"Southeast Asian Affairs","volume":"173 1","pages":"169 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75383863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
