商品簡介
Since 1932, when it became a constitutional monarchy, Thailand has had 18 constitutions. Harding (Asia-Pacific law, U. of Victoria, BC) and Leyland (public law, London Metropolitan U.) chronicle this political system's swings between military rule and elected government. Chapters treat elections and parliament, executive organs of the state, administrative oversight, local government, the constitutional role of the courts, and human rights issues. Despite corruption and fears that the masses are not ready for democracy, the authors conclude that some progress has been made in the last 20 years. The book includes tables of cases, constitutions, and related legal codes and regulations; further reading; and a glossary. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
