Hardback. Zustand: New. Since Thailand's prolonged political crisis began with royalist mobilization against prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2005, international observers have been treated to easy cliches about reactionary Thai elites. The chapters in this book invite readers to hold back quick judgement and instead engage with the conservative norms of sections of the middle class, the military, intellectuals and state ideologues. The opening chapter by the editors provides a historical overview of relevant themes and introduces the translated pieces. It also argues that the concept of a supra-constitution - first introduced by legal scholar Somchai Preechasilpakul in a brilliant lecture to the Pridi Banomyong Institute in 2007 - is a powerful frame for interpreting conservative Thai politics. Somchai's lecture, now translated here, explains that an unwritten supra-constitution sits above the many failed constitutions that litter Thai history. Like a guiding spirit it contains evolving norms on military and monarchical power which circumscribe democratic political contest. Other translations include chapters from Nakharin Metrairat's seminal Thoughts, Knowledge and Political Power in the Siamese Revolution (1990) and the unsurpassed Political Thought of the Thai Military (1990) by Chalermkiat Phi-nuan. Nakarin's account of vibrant traditionalist thought and Chalermkiat's interrogation of the cosmological underpinnings of military thought offer profound insights unavailable in English-language scholarship. On royalism, the translation of Kramol Thongthammachat's "National Ideology" illuminates how an important state ideologue co-developed a cross-class royalist ideology that emerged as a powerful force after the polarized 1970s. The Thai politician Pramuan Rajunaseri's sensational book Royal Powers, in part translated here, helped in 2005 to mobilize royalist sentiment against Thaksin. Work by Saichon Sattayanurak and Pasuk Phongpaichit, both national award-winning scholars, complete the collection. Pasuk's prescient contribution, originally written in English, warned about new forms of bureaucratic-political patronage emerging during the 1990s that limited civil society activism. Relatedly, Saichon explores how Sino-Thai middle-class dependency on royal power and the judiciary emerges from its historical experience of political insecurity.This is a must-have reference, one that enables a better understanding of the forces that have shaped Thailand's democracy struggles.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Plundering Security The Economic Power of Thailand's Military represents an in-depth examination of Thai 'khaki capital', exploring the links between the Thai military and economic power. The book traces the evolution of the Thai military's economic influence from before 1932 to the present day. It shows that the wealth of Thailand's security forces derives not only from defence budgets but also from the military's presence on the boards of, and major shareholdings in, public enterprises. Moving beyond familiar accounts of enrichment through weapons procurement, it examines military business activities, including landholdings, investments, golf courses, hotels and more. The book sheds new light on two important issues: the counterinsurgency in Thailand's Deep South and the labour of 'khaki capital' formed by conscription. It explores a new vision in terms of Thai military officials obtaining economic interest through what might be considered a form of plunder. The book is unique in examining Thailand's armed forces not in terms of firepower but as an institution seeking economic gain. Most importantly, it is the first book to focus on the many dimensions of Thai military profit-making, a phenomenon that has bolstered the political influence of the armed forces.…
