Abstract

The prospects for Thailand's emergence as a democracy seemed strong in the 1990s. Yet, as most recently demonstrated by military coups in 2006 and 2014, that hasn't happened. Why not? Why have factors typically considered advantageous for democratization turned into barriers? Is there a uniquely Thai reason that democratization efforts have failed? Daniel Unger and Chandra Mahakanjana explore the intersecting and often contradictory forces that are shaping the nature of Thai politics today. Paying overdue attention to a complex of social, cultural, and institutional dynamics, they offer a nuan

Abstract

This book focuses on the so-called 'new bilateralism' phenomenon, a foreign policy development that has widespread across regions since the mid-1990s. The book asks why the policy trend of 'new bilateralism' has been pursued in spite of the widely accepted views on political and economic advantages of 'multilateralism'. It also invites an open theoretical discussion on the implications of new bilateralism for international relations. Using the case study of EU-Thailand relations, the book shows that the opportunistic foreign policy behavior of the state is particularly observable in the crisis

Abstract

À quoi doit servir l’armée dans les grands pays d’Asie du Sud-Est ? Pendant de longues années, la réponse donnée par l'Indonésie comme par la Thaïlande a été claire. Les militaires contrôlaient la vie politique, l'activité économique, et s’efforçaient d'assurer leur emprise à tous les niveaux de la société. Depuis 1992 à Bangkok et 1998 à Jakarta, les uniformes semblent de nouveau cantonnés à leur tâche traditionnelle de défense nationale. Mais ce mouvement est-il définitif et est-il même “naturel” dans des sociétés en pleine mutation ? Ce livre, qui ouvre la collection analyses en regard s’efforce d’apporter des réponses à ces questions, dessinant ainsi ce que pourrait être l’avenir des relations entre civils et militaires dans la région.

Abstract

This atlas portrays Thailand’s spatial structures and presents the country’s social and economic development in a territorial context. The Kingdom of Thailand has undergone many changes throughout its long history, and most recently during its vigorous growth from the middle of the 1980s. The maps and text give a comprehensive interpretation of Thailand’s internal dynamics as well as its regional and global integration. This is the first atlas of its kind for Thailand. It includes a wide range of spatial information and maps using various computer-assisted techniques. Seventy plates of maps, accompanied with commentary, cover significant topics such as: Thailand’s relation to the world-system, its place in Eastern Asia, and its population, infrastructure, urban network, production, income, education, intra-regional dynamics. The volume brings together experts in a variety of fields and methods. It will be a valuable tool for teachers and students, planners and entrepreneurs – indeed, for anyone eager to understand recent changes and prepare future diagnoses.
