Recenzii
Exhaustively researched ... an excellent contribution to understanding American and Chinese foreign policy in Southeast Asia.
Presents a clear-eyed and well-informed analysis of a critical moment, in which ideals of democracy and human rights, never deeply rooted, are giving way as Thailand increasingly sees its future tied to a rising China.
Zawacki deftly unpacks Thailand's complex and evolving relationships with the United States and China, and issues a wake-up call to U.S. policymakers.
A must-read for those concerned by Chinese ascendency in Southeast Asia and its implications on human rights in the coming decades.
An important book at a pivotal moment. Zawacki brings clear eyes and rigorous research to one of America's most complicated and historically important Asian relationships.
Zawacki skillfully tells the story of America's oldest Asian ally, exploring how equivocation in Washington and dysfunction in Bangkok is allowing a resurgent China to extend its talons into a disturbingly authoritarian Thailand.
Zawacki's carefully documented and balanced analysis lifts the curtain on a gradual, often invisible, but seemingly inexorable geopolitical shift. It provides a thorough explanation of the circumstances that have led Thailand, once seen as an unequivocally staunch U.S. ally, to lean increasingly toward a pragmatic and strategically assertive China.
Presents a powerful counter-argument to the conventional wisdom that China's economic rise alone explains Thailand's pivot from the US to China. In thoroughly researched detail, the book traces a sorry trail of US condescension and clumsy diplomacy.
Now comes the rare American deeply informed of a "faraway country" of whose people "we know nothing", in a profoundly disturbing study of how the world-changing US-China dynamic unfolds in Thailand. Read and weep.
An important contribution to the field of Thailand's foreign relations.
The US has failed to reliably present democracy and human rights as alternatives to the China Model. It has allowed its 'interests' to override its 'values,' and hence is vulnerable to accusations of hypocrisy. Zawacki argues that the US must correct for these two failures and make the kind of commitment to Asia that Obama promised but never delivered.
Benjamin Zawacki's book on Thailand is a fine, deeply researched study of a critical pivot state that gets less attention than it deserves. It is an example of blending area expertise with political philosophy: the best kind of book.
The expanded second edition of Benjamin Zawacki's superb study reveals not only Thailand's continued maneuvering between China and the United States, but the growing gravitation of Bangkok more fully into Beijing's regional orbit. Crucial reading for understanding the geopolitics of Southeast Asia.
In his authoritative history, Zawacki shares a poignant, accessible, and ultimately heartbreaking tale of U.S. foreign policy blunders and opportunities lost. Those unfamiliar with Thailand will come away informed. Current officials should find Zawacki's analysis cautionary and instructive.
The release of a new edition of Zawacki's analysis of how the U.S. 'lost' Thailand to China comes at a propitious moment: just as a new administration has taken over in Washington and is figuring out how to re-engage strategically-located Southeast Asia.
Zawacki is a resourceful and knowledgeable guide through the past half-century of Thai history, and helps illuminate how the country's labyrinthine politics has been reflected in its shifting international alignments. An essential examination of Thailand's position in an era of American drift and resurgent Chinese power.
