Through a historical overview, it argues that development policy since the 1960s has been focused on laissez-faire growth, thereby neglecting the social sector.

At the same time, however, there is also some indication that pro-poor reforms, particularly in the health sector, may be making headway under the populist government of Thaksin Shinawatra. Research on these policy areas is based on fieldwork in Thailand in 2000–01 and 2003. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of American Asian Review is the property of Center of Asian Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
