Thailand, a long-standing defence partner of the United States and
ASEAN's second largest economy, occupies a geostrategically
important position as a land bridge between China and maritime
Southeast Asia. This book, based on extensive original research,
explores the current state of US-Thai relations, paying particular
attention to how the United States is perceived by a wide range of
people in the Thai defence establishment and highlighting the
importance of historical memory. The book outlines how the US-Thai
relationship has been complicated and at times turbulent, discusses
how Thailand is deeply embedded in multi-faceted relationships with
many Asian states, not just China, and examines how far the United
States is blind to the complexities of Asian international
relations by focusing too much on China. The book concludes by
assessing how US-Thai relations are likely to develop going
forward. Additionally, the work contributes to alliance theory by
showing how domestic politics shapes memory, which in turn affects
perceptions of other states.
