NGOs and Civil Society in Thailand critically examines the
relationships of civil society to nongovernmental organisations in
Thailand, and examines the 'NGOisation' of civil society, how NGOs
are funded and governed, and in what way the NGOs has been shaped
to work with the funder. NGOisation is a phenomenon by which the
funded organisations are impelled to transform suit their funder as
reliable partners. Focusing on Thailand, an Asian country where
NGOs have been heavily relied on the public sector for funding, the
book analyses the relations between NGOs and their significant
funder, Thailand Health Promotion Foundation (THPF), one of the
biggest and most influential players in the NGO sector. As the NGO
funded organisations are impelled to transform and adapt to become
more professionalised, institutionalised, bureaucratised, and
depoliticised to suit their funder as reliable partners, their
characteristics and relations with the state are complex and
interactive. Engaging with key stakeholders in the field of NGO and
public governance in Thailand, the book demonstrates how THPF
changed the NGO landscape, integrating them and innovatively
coordinating non-state initiatives into public governance system. A
novel contribution to the study of NGOs and the state, the book
also addresses NGO transformation, politics, and governance. It
will be of interest to academics working on Asian Politics, civil
society, public policy and public management.
