Infiltrating Society: The Thai Military’s Internal Security Affairs

byPuangthong Pawakapan

This lucidly written book uncovers the ‘military-led civil affairs’ that earn the armed forces the omnipotent role in Thai society. The research behind Infiltrating Society draws together archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the thai military’s internal security affairs with debates in political science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Infiltrating Society gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
