Abstract

"Dynastic Democracy: Political Families of Thailand" by Yoshinori Nishizaki is a comprehensive study of Thai political elite families from 1932 to the present day. The book argues that political families have been the primary drivers of Thai politics, dominating the Parliament regardless of the regime type. It highlights the intricate network of connections among these families and their power sharing. While the book offers a fresh perspective, it falls short of convincingly challenging other scholarly approaches and overlooks the complex factors that have shaped Thai politics over time.
