| Abstract | The book discusses the attempts of conservative elements to reestablish a consensus that would become the basis for sociopolitical unity. Girling boldly dissects the trilogy of "Nation, Religion, King," suggesting that, because of the erosion of religious piety and the problematic concept of "nation," there has been an increased reliance on kingship as the unifying symbol of legitimacy. On final balance, this volume is highly recommended, both for the neophyte and the veteran. There is, however, one important area that needs further coverage, namely, the relationship between the monarchy and the army. Since the early 1960s, the symbiotic relationship between the military and monarchy has been the determining factor in Thai politics. The most recent "Young Turk" attempted coup on April 1, 1981, clearly demonstrated the centrality of kingship in sanctioning political succession. The monarchy is no longer an "objective" symbol of legitimacy: it has become a "subjective" participant in political events. |
