Description

A lively and accessible account of Thailand's political, economic, social, and cultural history, exploring the transformation from a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants to the foundation of a new nation-state. The book captures clashes between various groups in their attempts to control the nation-state, tracks economic changes through an economic boom, globalization, and the evolution of mass society. It sheds light on Thailand's recent political, social, and economic developments, including the coup of 2006, the violent street politics of May 2010, and the landmark election of 2011. Today, the monarchy, military, business, and new mass movements are players in a complex conflict over the country's democracy.
