Editorial Reviews

Laothamatas (political science, Thammasat U., Bangkok) challenges the Fred Rigg's "bureaucratic polity" model of economic decision making in Thailand, and offers instead what he calls "liberal corporatism." He focuses on the contribution of such organizations as chambers of commerce and national trade associations to the widely expected rise of Thailand into Asia's next highly industrialized country.
