Jim Glassman addresses the role of the state in the industrial
transformation of what was, before the economic crisis of 1997-98,
one of Southeast Asia's fastest growing economies. Approaching this
issue from a different angle to those dominating 1980s and 1990s
debates about the role of states in East Asian growth, Glassman
argues that the Thai state has been both proactive and
interventionist in encouraging industrial transformation - contrary
to what neo-liberals have asserted - but at the same time has not
been a 'developmental' state of the sort championed by neo-Weberian
analysts of East Asia. Analyzing the Cold War period, the period of
the economic boom, as well as the economic crisis and its political
aftershock, Thailand at the Margins recasts the story of the Thai
state's post-World War II development performance by focusing on
uneven industrialization and the interaction between
internationalization and the transformation of Thai labour.
