Abstract

Laos is the most aid dependent country in Southeast Asia. The economy depends on a few productive resources, of which the generation of revenue from the electricity sector is one of the most important. The country has a long history of aid intervention, which started with the foundation of a new independent state within a Cold War context. Through this historical trajectory, development aid has become part of the contestation and rivalry in the process of building and legitimising the state.
