D. R. on either side of the Mae Khong River. It focuses on definitions of the "Lao" among the neighboring "non-Lao" peoples and the recent development of promotion of self-culture associated with the processes of nation-centered tourism. An attempt is also made to clarify the process of differentiation and involution of Lao identities in terms of socio-historical setting of the region in the construction of nation-states under different conditions. The formal designation of Lao has disappeared in Northeast Thailand, where the alternative regional identity of "Isan" has been propagated through the centralization of provincial administration over the past century in parallel with the spread of the educational system. In Lao P. D. R., Lao formally denotes nationality in general, whereas the non-Lao peoples still have other identifications to define themselves in each local context. However, the informal (living) expressions of the "Laoness" which are identified in the relationship with neighbors are still observed in peoples' memories and activities in both regions. The recent development of tourist policy along the Mae Khong River has accelerated the promotion of their formal-cultural identities in different ways. Fragmented ethnic cultures are often employed in showing their peculiarities, which is often reified like as biological indications in the eyes of foreigners without paying attention to the local ways of definition of their reality. Lao identification, in a sense, has no meaning in institutional terms, but is still alive in their everyday usage to differentiate themselves from others in terms of socio-economical and political-cultural superiority to the non-Lao.
