OverviewIn this definitive account of electoral politics in provincial Thailand in the 1990s, the core of the text investigates political processes and the way in which Thai democracy is played out at various levels. Electoral politics are analysed from a rural perspective, alongside an exploration of the relationships between the politics of the locality, the province and the nation from 1950 to the present day.More than a single-faceted analysis of political change, however, and in true anthropological style, the author presents a holistic elucidation of the relationships between social, economic and political change. These aspects of change are examined both in their own right, and also in relation to political developments.
