Reviews

“This is a rich collection of essays on the complex world of public policy in Thailand, which has many institutions and practices not found elsewhere. It is a valuable contribution to the small but growing literature on the public policy process in developing countries.”

M. Ramesh, National University of Singapore and International Public Policy Association

“A significant contribution to Asian policy literature that makes an important start towards correcting the Western bias prominent in public policy studies. It will be essential reading to both scholars and students of policy processes.”

Frank Fischer, Humboldt University
