본문내용

Geography is not everything, but it impacts the process of developing countries' development indeed. Europe which has a non-tropical climate, proximity to the coast and fewer landlocked countries had grown significantly faster than Sub-Saharan Africa, where it is not (Gallup el al.,1999:5). This geographical development theory can be applied in the case of Southeast-Asia. Southeast-Asia region, which consists of ten countries has a variety characteristic of religions, political system, and economic growth levels. Each country has also different topographical features. Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar are located in main-land of Southeast Asia which belong to the Indochina Peninsula, and there are "insular region" consisting of several islands countries, such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Of these, Lao PDR(Laos) is the only Land-lock country where five countries surround all sides of the border: Thailand, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
