How and why was it possible for a small state such as Thailand to
challenge great powers France and Japan during the Second World
War? Putting ontological security theory into dialogue with status
seeking approaches, Charoenvattananukul uses a case study of
Thailand in the early 1940s to interrogate the dynamics and logic
of a small state foreign policy. During this period, Thailand's
foreign policy can appear to be surprising, if viewed through a
lens of survival imperatives which would assume that passivity
towards more powerful states is the optimal policy. As the majority
of states are small- and medium-sized it is very important to
understand the imperatives that drive such states, especially in
their interactions with great powers. In applying these frameworks
to a small state, this book makes a unique and valuable
contribution to the field of international relations theory. It
will also be of great interest to scholars of twentieth century
Thai history and of the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War.
