About this book

This book offers a wide-ranging rethinking of Siam's governing culture as it stood before the administrative reforms brought in by King Chulalongkorn in the nineteenth century. Its argument is that the traditional system functioned more effectively and more rationally than many scholars have allowed.

Neil a. Englehart supports this view with evidence from the period. The book will interest students and researchers of Southeast Asian history and politics, as well as readers looking at how pre-modern states organised authority and power.
