The Middle Class and Democracy in Thailand

研究テーマ

My main research interests are in comparative politics, political development, and political economy of development. I am especially interested in questions of state formation, political parties, inequality, and democracy, with a focus on Southeast Asia. My first book, The Politics of Equitable Development in Southeast Asia: The Institutional Imperative (under contract with Stanford University Press), examines the relationship between inequality and political institutions. At Kyoto, I plan to work on a manuscript entitled "The Middle Class and Democracy in Southeast Asia." This project argues that the middle class is not a natural supporter of democracy as modernization theory claims. The middle class supports democracy only when its economic and political interests are met. This in turn has to do with whether the state addresses those interests. The project focuses on three countries in Southeast Asia - Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore - which exhibit variation in terms of the relationship between the middle class and democracy.

アカデミック・キャリア

I have held fellowships at the Walter Shorenstein Asia/Pacific Research Center of Stanford University, the Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore, and the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2003 and my B.A., magna cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995.
