NGOs and civil society in Thailand play a crucial role in examining the intricate relationships between these two entities. This comprehensive analysis delves into the phenomenon of NGOisation, exploring how NGOs are funded, governed, and shaped to align with their funding sources. Focusing on Thailand, an Asian country heavily reliant on the public sector for funding, the book examines the complex dynamics between NGOs and their significant funder, the Thailand Health Promotion Foundation (THPF). As NGOs are compelled to transform and adapt to become more professionalised, institutionalised, bureaucratised, and depoliticised to meet the expectations of their funders, their characteristics and relations with the state become multifaceted and interactive.
To shed light on these dynamics, the book engages with key stakeholders in the field of NGO and public governance in Thailand. Through in-depth interviews and case studies, it demonstrates how THPF has reshaped the NGO landscape, integrating them into the public governance system and fostering innovative coordination between non-state initiatives. This novel contribution to the study of NGOs and the state offers valuable insights into NGO transformation, politics, and governance.
Academics working in the fields of Asian Politics, civil society, public policy, and public management will find this book particularly insightful. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between NGOs, civil society, and the state in Thailand, offering valuable perspectives for future research and policy interventions.
