| 摘要 | The August 1960 coup led by Captain Kongle is generally regarded as a temporary discontinuity in Lao politics, a dramatic but failed attempt to revive neutrality for Laos. Accounts are largely based on French language sources, which are oriented towards the concerns of government and political elites. This article examines the popular Lao language press of the time, specifically the newspaper of the National Union Party, Laorouamsamphan (Lao Unity), edited by Bong Souvannavong, to enhance our understanding of the motivations for the coup and the nature of its populist appeal. It shows that the coup was launched after years of widespread discussion of the Peace Through Neutrality programme of the Neutralists, a movement that elaborated a detailed Buddhist philosophy. The timing and demands of the coup committee were not therefore mysterious, but a response to quite specific hopes about how the newly independent Kingdom of Laos would move forward on its own terms. |
