About this title

Synopsis

This study identifies and investigates problems of incorporative development as it affects people in rural Thailand, addressing several key themes commonly associated with development studies. Among these are spontaneous land development and associated deforestation; changing control over local and wider societal resources; cooperation as an ideal in many development programs; and power and its changing location as local communities become part of a wide society.
