Abstract

The major international recognition of a World Heritage Site designation can bring important preservation efforts and a wealth of tourist dollars to an impoverished area-but it can also have destructive side effects. In a revealing study with lessons for tourism and preservation projects around the world, this book examines the redevelopment and packaging of Luang Prabans, Laos, as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites that "belong to all peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located." It tells the story of how the world's most prestigious preservation initiative

Abstract

This study treats ecotourism in National Protected Areas of Lao PDR as a “recreational frontier” which instrumentalizes the recreation of human natures in capitalism’s centers for that of nonhuman natures at capitalism’s (closing) frontiers. This world-ecological practice of ecorational instrumentality – i.e. of nature domination in the name of “Nature” – presents a remedy for capitalism’s crisis that is itself crisis-ridden, enacting a central tension of ecocapitalism: that between “conservation” and “development”. This epistemic-institutional tension is traced through the preconditions, modes and effects of ecotourism in Laos by gradually zooming from the most general scale of societal nature relations into the most detailed intricacies of ecotouristic practice. The combination of Bourdieu, Marx and Critical Theory enables a systematic analysis of the recreational frontier as enactment of various contradictions deriving from the “false-and-real” Nature/Society dualism.

Abstract

The Lao discusses culture and village life in Laos, exploring topics of kinship and family, gender relations, households, religion, livelihood strategies, and ethnicity. In particular, the effects of recent development projects on the relative power of men and women in rural Lao society, and the responses of women to those changes, are highlighted. Ireson-Doolittle and Moreno-Black not only provide a description of life on the ground but also explore how local affairs are connected to the wider world, and how the Lao people preserve traditions while also responding to change.

Abstract

En ce début de XXIe siècle, comment apprécier la place du Laos en Asie du Sud-Est ? L'État tampon de la guerre froide saura-t-il exploiter sa position centrale dans la péninsule Indochinoise, à la porte de l'immense nation chinoise, pour s'imposer comme un pays charnière ? Le programme de développement du Grand Mékong l'aidera-t-il à se désenclaver ? Son adhésion à l'Asean lui permettra-t-elle d'affirmer son identité, de s'affranchir des relations parfois difficiles qu'il entretient toujours avec le Viêt Nam ou la Thaïlande ? Pourra-t-il à la fois rattraper son retard économique et technologique vis-à-vis de ses voisins et gérer sa différence politique ? Enfin, et ce n'est pas le moindre défi, comment la société laotienne s'adaptera-t-elle à tous ces bouleversements ? Autant de questions qui se posent à ce pays en pleine mutation. À travers cet ouvrage, Vatthana Pholsena et Ruth Banomyong nous emmènent à la découverte du Laos d'aujourd'hui et font émerger les enjeux et mécanismes de son intégration régionale.
