Abstract
Laos continued through 1989 to stamp out its own distinctive brand of Southeast Asian socialism. This small landlocked country has ostensibly jettisoned the doctrinaire assumptions that guided the first decade of postrevolutionary transformation. From beneath the Vietnamese shadow, Laos has restored party-to-party ties with China and, with the assistance of Thailand, another erstwhile ideological enemy and revanchist neighbor, has embraced economic liberalization and the advantages that accrue from the natural trans-Mekong trade.
