Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed overview of the economic and social development strategies of Thailand, as seen through the lens of Japanese investment and aid. The author presents a historical context of Thailand's economic growth, the role that Japanese investment has played in shaping that growth, and the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the country. The book also delves into the debate over whether Thailand should pursue a 'Newly Industrialized Country' (NIC) model of development based on manufacturing exports or a 'Newly Agro-Industrialized Country' (NAIC) model based on agro-industry exports. The author presents the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, as well as the potential impact on Thailand's economy and society. The author ultimately argues that a balanced approach, combining elements of both the NIC and NAIC models, is likely to be the most successful path for Thailand's continued development. The book provides valuable insights into the economic and social challenges facing Thailand and offers a nuanced perspective on the role of foreign investment in the country's development.
