Thailand's Turn - Profile of a New Dragon (Paperback, 1st ed. 1992)

`There is an old Thai saying that Thailand is not for beginners. 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.
