The Journal of the Royal Institute of Thailand Volume III - 2011 Volker Grabowsky 111 Fourthly , seen from this perspective, the history of territories that changed political affiliation over the centuries and belong now to nation-states other than the Lao Peopleûs Democratic Republic can still be incorporated into the narrative of çLao Historyé history though not in an exclusive manner. The predominantly Lao parts of the Khorat Plateau, for example, belong to the histories of Thailand and Laos and of the DSCD as a whole. It is hoped that this article might stimulate further discussion about the scope of Lao Studies which already transcend the confines of the Lao nation-state (Lao PDR) and comprise a much wider geographical and cultural space called the Dhamma Script Cultural Domain.
