The Presence and Development of Border Country; Laos: Political, Economic and Social Actors and GMS; Greater Mekong Sub-Region

在这项研究中，我们评估了东亚未来趋势的决定因素不是在中国、日本、韩国等大国的政策上，而是在被许多国家封锁和包围的老挝这样的“边境国家”上，而是国家面积较小的假设。我们的研究证实，力量均衡感在亚洲大陆地区的中小国家人民中非常普遍。那些小国试图迫使周围的大国相互竞争，并在这些竞争中找到自己的利益。在小国问题上，人们正在分工合作，与邻国合作，但最终每一群人都相互沟通，并保持自己的努力，以最大化自己小国的利益，如老挝。

On this study, the hypothesis that the decision factor of East Asian future trends is not on the large countries' policies such as on China, Japan and South Korea, but on "the border countries" such as on Laos, which is the land locked and surrounded by many countries, and the size of the country is rather small, is evaluated.The senses of power balance are ratified at our study to be very common in the people in medium and small sized countries in the Asian continental areas. Those small sized countries trying to force the surrounding large countries compete each other and to find the own interest from those competitions. On small countries people are dividing the works to cooperate with the neighboring countries, but at last each group of people communicates each other and maintains their efforts to maximize the interest of their own small countries, such as in Laos.
