Based on extensive, empirical research, The Political Development
of Modern Thailand analyses the country's political history from
the late nineteenth century to the present day. Long known for
political instability, Thailand was thrust into a deep state of
crisis by a royalist military coup staged in 2006. Since then,
conservative royalists have overthrown more elected governments
after violent street protests, while equally disruptive
demonstrations staged by supporters of electoral democracy were
crushed by military force. Federico Ferrara traces the roots of the
crisis to unresolved struggles regarding the content of Thailand's
national identity, dating back to the abolition of absolute
monarchy in 1932. He explains the conflict's re-intensification
with reference to a growing chasm between the hierarchical
worldview of Thailand's hegemonic 'royal nationalism' and the
aspirations that millions of ordinary people have come to harbour
as a result of modernisation.
