{"product_id":"9781138014169","title":"Thailand In The Cold War (Routledge Studies In The Modern History Of Asia)","description":"Thailand's position during the Cold War was ambiguous: Thailand's political leadership was keen to maintain the country's independence, yet was also keen to establish the country as staunchly anti-communist. This book argues that though Thailand was never formally a client state of the United States, it was closely embedded in the Western camp through the development of a modern, consumerist lifestyle in Thailand's cosmopolitan urban communities. The book shows how a consumerist ideology and integration into a \"free world\" culture took hold, and how this popular culture was fundamental in determining Thailand's international political alignment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMatthew Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eOct 01, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e234 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1138014168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781138014169\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48548083925297,"sku":"9781138014169","price":273.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781138014169.jpg?v=1710905296","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781138014169","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
