The National Security of Developing States: Lessons from Thailand

By Muthiah Alagappa

Several factors impact a developing nation's ability to manage its political and related security affairs. Thailand's search for national security is used to illustrate factors that underlie the security fabric of developing states. The author relates the state to the international environment as well as to substate elements, and analyzes the role of intra-country conflict in explaining the state's vulnerability to external intervention.
