If this is true, then Thailand's Turn is the best beginner's handbook.' - Gore Vidal In Thailand's Turn, the authors subject Thailand's recent political and economic development to a searching analysis. All the major factors contributing to Thailand's success are covered: the good fortune of avoiding colonization, the effect of Buddhism, a natural balance of political forces, and the development of sound economic policies. The Thai national character, and the problems the country faces - environmental damage, income inequality, and the spread of AIDS - are also carefully considered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-11-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780333592762\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-349-22414-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216.0cm x140.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 212.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449224491148,"sku":"9780333592762","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780333592762_a4eda8f0-af55-413e-86cb-8afb540dc69d.jpg?v=1757607846","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780333592762","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
