This volume seeks to illuminate how Thai elites have used democracy as an instrument for order and discipline. Drawing on interviews, numerous Thai language sources and critical theory, Michael Kelly Connors reveals an adaptation of the idea of democracy in the Thai context. He shows how elites have drawn on Western political theory to design projects to create modern citizens.
