An acadrmic book, delving into overall structure and operation of the society of the Thai people, compared to Europe (and China and others). It concerns the "shape" and relations in society, dynamics of change, effects of urbanization, religion, and other overall forces. Obviously a huge subject, and a time frame of a millennium (to 1957), but the book aims to find key points. Society is one vital way to describe history, and to understand the present. Thailand comes out the most stable case in this study. Topics include individual focus vs conformity, verticality, cohesion, government dominance, effects of antecedents, openness to change vs stability.
The book is intended to be useful in graduate studies, and possibly to contribute to constructive discussion of Thailand’s society, past and present.
