Based on two decades of fieldwork, including over a hundred
interviews with various political and economic actors at different
social levels, as well as documentary and media analysis, this
volume presents an account of the Buddhist monarchy in Thailand,
offering a sociology of elites, an analysis of the economic
influence of the Crown and an examination of the magic and ritual
dimension of kingship. An exploration of the role and status of the
Palace over the last century, whether as a guarantor of democracy,
a symbol of stability, a source of power or an object of popular
discontent, Thailand's Buddhist Kingship in the 20th and 21st
Centuries will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology
with interests in material religion, politics and Southeast Asian
studies.
