Abstract:

"Since the mid-1980s, Thailand has experienced a period of remarkable economic growth and structural change. But is Thailand's pattern of development sustainable, especially in view of the 1997-8 financial crisis? This volume looks at the origins and consequences of this period of accelerated growth, with particular emphasis on the historical development and contemporary economic structure that tend to set Thailand apart from other Asian, African and Latin American countries, such as the non-colonial mode of incorporation into the global economy." "Providing an extremely thorough analysis of Thailand's economic development, this volume will be an excellent resource for students, researchers and policy makers interested in this region and in economic development generally."--BOOK JACKET.
