Thailand

economy and politics

Edición de la obra Thailand

"Thailand was the world's fastest growing economy for a decade when it was hit by the 1997 financial crisis which rippled across Asia and beyond. An ambitious new constitution, upsurge of 'people politics', and the landmark elections of 2001 distinguish Thailand as one of Asia's most open, lively, and fascinating democracies. Yet Thailand is still little known and sparsely written about. The original edition of this book, published in 1995, was the first full-length overview of Thailand's modern economy and politics. The book will be useful for students, stimulating for the general reader, and challenging for specialists."--Jacket.
