内容説明
Thailand's political system is unique. Traditional forces and modern pressures both play important roles, interacting frequently with one another. Although in theory these two elements are diametrically opposed, in practice, they have been combined and partly reconciled. This partial reconciliation is at the heart of what the author calls demi-democracy, or halfway democracy. To explain more fully the concept of demi-democracy the author goes back in history to trace the origins of the system, studying the nature of the old Thai kingdoms, analysing the rise to power of certain important families and exploring the influence over many decades of foreign, especially Western, states and their ideological leanings. Professor Dhiravegin shows that the many factors in Thailand's political evolution have led to a vicious circle in the Thai political process, a circle which cannot be wished away. Indeed, the only way to avoid any large-scale bloodshed in Thailand is to treat both elements seriously and let demi-democracy mature until a more fully democratic system is put into place.
