Localism in Thailand - Note

Note

The Asian Times's article "the King's 'Sufficiency Economy' (Localism)" may be misunderstood. "Sufficiency Economy" calls for partial localism - a quarter - not the whole. In other words, "sufficiency economy" is meant to be "partial" localism. It is true that many parts of Thailand still enjoy capitalism. "Sufficiency Economy" calls on those to practice "some" localism particularly those in the rural areas. However, the oppositions see no difference between "Sufficiency Economy" and "Self-sufficient economy", i.e., they are the same as Localism . Kevin Hewison describes the self-sufficient political agenda in Thailand as Populist Localism.

Famous quotes containing the word note:

    To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
    The plainsong cuckoo grey,
    Whose note full many a man doth mark
    And dares not answer nay.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There’s not a note of mine that’s worth the noting.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
