Myths and Realities

The Democratization of Thai Politics
Traces the root of Thailand's current political instability back to the 1990's and challenges the prevailing view that the nation's democratisation process during the decade was led by the active middle class. Australian publisher.
This study challenges the prevailing view that Thailand's democratisation process in the 1990s was led by the active middle class. It presents an alternative explanation, examining certain 'passive' forces. The author argues the need to break free from the spell of the assumption that the middle class is pro-democracy and turn attention toward anti-democratisation forces because the pace of political democratisation was slowed down by the presence of such forces.

This book will emphasise the fresh point of view that democratisation was advanced by appeasement of the forces that were reluctant to democratisation.
