Conflict between groups for and against former Prime Minister Thaksin has polarized Thai society. Under his watch, violence also returned to the Malay Muslim south, with the loss of over 3,000 lives. The military coup that ousted Thaksin was supposed to end all this, but instead polarization increased and southern violence continued. This book is about how Thaksin divided Thailand, the nature of the southern conflict, and problematic attempts to establish a consensus around a post-Thaksin political order. 607 $aThailand$xHistory$yCoup d'e?tat, 2006$vCongresses 607 $aThailand$xPolitics and government$y1988-$vCongresses 676 $a320.9593 702 $aFunston$b N.
