Recenzii

'Arghiros' in-depth study of local level politics sheds much light on an often neglected aspect of Thailand's political scene. Although an Anthropologist , Arghiros persuasively moves between his home discipline and that of politics and sociology, and in so doing opens up useful interdisciplinary insights.' - Democratization

'It is seldom that one picks up a book on contemporary Thailand written with as clear and holistic examination of a topic as timely and pertinent as this ... a pioneering contribution to the social anthropology of provincial Thai electoral politics in the late twentieth century.' - Southeast Asian Studies
