Explore the complexities of economic growth with “The Politics of Uneven Development: Thailand’s Economic Growth in Comparative Perspective.” This insightful book by Richard Doner delves into why some middle-income nations like Thailand struggle to upgrade their economies despite diversification. It moves beyond simple ‘political will’ to examine the crucial role of institutional capacities and political pressures. Discover how external threats and resource constraints can motivate leaders towards efficiency rather than patronage, shaping the very institutions that drive development. Through historical analysis of key sectors such as sugar, textiles, and autos, and comparative studies with countries like Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Brazil, Doner offers a compelling explanation for persistent development challenges and offers valuable insights for understanding global economic trajectories. Perfect for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in Southeast Asian economies and comparative development.
