Abstract
Mysterious bombings in the capital Vientiane and other cities, increased attacks by ethnic hill-tribe insurgents in the north and factionalism in the ruling Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) have turned Laos into the region’s latest potential trouble spot. Both Vietnam and Thailand have publicly expressed concern. Behind the unrest are a shaky economy and increasingly bitter factional disputes among LPRP leaders. International donors are pressuring Laos to carry out reforms, but Vientiane is compounding its problems by refusing to change its rigid political system.
