Summary

IPolitical Change in Thailandprovides an assessment of approaches to studying Thai politics, the various forces reshaping the forms of political activity and their roles in the fluid contemporary political environment. It provides a survey of the more enduring and powerful institutions such as the military, bureacracy and religion, and includes an assessment of the important but seldom scrutinized monarchy and its role in democratization.
