| Summary/Abstract |
For many people working about and being interested in Laos the two editors (Boute and Pholsena) are well known icons of scientific research about their area of expertise. Vatthana Pholsena, in particular, has in the past published a number of articles and books that are essential when doing research about Laos, which Western media sometimes like to compare with North Korea when talking about political backgrounds. All the writers of the different chapters of this book are in their way similarly outstanding even if they are not as famous as the editors.
