| Research Abstract |
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.
