  • From the Library of Garrick Lee Praise for up and out of Poverty
    ptg From the Library of Garrick Lee Praise for Up and Out of Poverty “Philip Kotler, pioneer in social marketing, and Nancy Lee bring their inci- sive thinking and pragmatic approach to the problems of behavior change at the bottom of the pyramid. Creative solutions to persistent problems that affect the poor require the tools of social marketing and multi-stakeholder management. In this book, the poor around the world have found new and powerful allies. A must read for those who work to alleviate poverty and restore human dignity.” —CK Prahalad, Paul and Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Pro- fessor, Ross School of Business, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; and author of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, 5th Anniversary Edition “Up and Out of Poverty will prove very helpful to antipoverty planners and workers to help the poor deal better with their problems of daily living. Philip Kotler and Nancy Lee illustrate vivid cases of how the poor can be helped by social marketing solutions.” —Mechai Viravaidya, founder and Chairman, ptg Population and Community Development Association, Thailand “Helping others out of poverty is a simple task; yet it remains incomplete. Putting poverty in a museum is achievable within a short span of time—if we all work together, we can do it!” —Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace; and Managing Director, Grameen Bank “In Up and Out of Poverty, Kotler and Lee remind us that ‘markets’ are peo- ple. A series of remarkable case studies demonstrate conclusively the power of social marketing to release the creative energy of people to solve their own problems.

  • Agricultural Productivity in Thailand
    Agricultural Productivity and Poverty Reduction in Thailand 1 Peerapan Suwannarat Abstrtact Thailand’s growth used to rely on agriculture as a main driver for a long period of time. However, in 1980s, agriculture has been demoted from an engine of growth because a supply of labor came to an end. Thai economy shifted the concentration to industrial and service sectors instead. Nonetheless, it is unreasonable to overlook its importance since the majority of labor forces still lives in this sector. While agriculture is devaluated in Thai economy, population in agricultural sector suffer from a natural disaster and interference in an industrial production solely. That is why more than half of poor belong to agricultural sector. Poverty is then an everlasting issue that Thailand confronts with. Enhancing agricultural productivity might be one of many solutions to aid escaping from poverty. In the study, agricultural productivity would be introduced as the key determinant for Thailand’s poverty reduction in four aspects: the poverty rate measuring by national poverty line; an employment in overall and sectoral issues; a migration from rural to urban areas; and the purchasing power. The study would begin with understanding the measurement of Thai agricultural productivity learnt from various studies. The following section would construct the model to examine the pattern of agricultural productivity to the poverty. The results from the model are discussed in the next section. Lastly, the paper would end with suggesting the policy recommendation in hope of solving Thai poverty situation. 1 Undergraduate student, B.E.

All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. The Privatization of Poverty Alleviation ASIAN ADDRESS MECHAI VIRAVAIDYA While many developing country governments have been able to significantly improve basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, schools and health centres, they have failed to make much progress in poverty alleviation in rural areas. The people employed in this endeavour have been the wrong type and the methods used have been incorrect. Simply put, we have used the wrong doctor as well as the wrong medicine; no wonder the patient is still sick! Let us take a look where we went wrong. In a typical developing country, what are the poorest doing to earn an income? Some pick up garbage and sell it, some buy rice, cook it and sell it. Some grow vegetables or fruit, raise chickens and sell their produce. They are all engaged in business. A reasonable question would be, why are they poor? The answer is that they are poor because they are not very good at business and they lack or are denied opportunity. If this is the diagnosis, the task to remedy the situation should be to provide them with opportunity through particular loans or credit, and to assist them to learn to be better at business.

  • Trade, Culture and Society in Thailand Before 1200 Ad
    TRADE, CULTURE AND SOCIETY IN THAILAND BEFORE 1200 AD Helen James Abstract This paper discusses the development of the vibrant socio- cultural complexes inhabiting the geographic area between the Mekong and the Salween river systems in pre- and proto-historic times up to 1200 AD. Our knowledge of these cultures has increased in recent decades thanks to the multidisciplinary research under- taken by Charles Higham, Dhida Saraya, Srisakra Vallibhotama, Bennet Bronson, Donn Bayard and others whose work has comple- mented that of the linguists, art historians and scientists to bring to life the sophisticated societies which evolved on the Khorat plateau in northeast Thailand, in the Chao Phraya valley, and on the penin- sula of southern Thailand long before the declaration of indepen- dence from the Khmer overlord at Sukhothai in the mid-thirteenth century. Far from being a vacuum with little social, cultural or political development, we now know that these socio-cultural complexes had extensive intra-regional, interregional, and interna- tional trading networks complementing their own indigenous developments, long before the appearance of the Greco-Roman trading ships in the harbours of the Coromandel and Malabar coasts of India in the first and second centuries AD. The pattern of indig- enous relationships gave rise to the early Bronze and Iron Age civilizations in this region and made these socio-cultural complexes a cornerstone in the reinterpretation of Thai history. Introduction The geographical area now delineated by the nation state, Thailand, had a sophisticated cultural history characterized by complex interregional, intraregional and international relationships long before the officially constructed Sukhothai- Ayutthaya-Bangkok march of modern history minimized the socio-cultural devel- opments of earlier times.

  • Thailand's Best Practices and Lessons Learned in Development Volume 1
    1 Thailand’s Best Practices and Lessons Learned in Development Volume 1 Thailand’s Best Practices and Lessons Learned in Development 1 Foreword Thailand has made remarkable progress in the fields of social and economic development in recent decades, which enabled Thailand to become a middle-income country. According to the first Thailand Millennium Development Goals Report, 2004, Thailand has already reached almost all targets set in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Therefore, Thailand has set more ambitious targets, called MDG Plus, that go well beyond the internationally agreed MDG targets. The development examples of many innovative projects under the royal patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej are particularly valuable, and His Majesty’s philosophy on “Sufficiency Economy” has become a key principle in Thailand’s national development plan and practices. As Thailand succeeded in its development during the past four decades, The Royal Thai Government has shared its knowledge and experiences with other developing countries, especially its neighbors in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS), through technical cooperation and human resource development. Helping the development of neighboring countries is among the highest priorities of Thai foreign policy. This has led to Thailand becoming a training and resource center for development, especially for scholars and practitioners from other developing countries. The Thailand International Development Cooperation Agency (TICA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the main Government’s coordinating body for technical and development assistance, including managing Thailand’s Official Development Assistance (ODA). Working closely with TICA and supporting Thailand as an active donor of the South is the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Thailand.

Introduction Thailand is now promoting bioethanol at an unprecedented pace. Even though the popularity of biofuels will contribute to an increase in income of farmers that cultivate the biofuels’ feedstock, there is possibility of large-scale monoculture expansion that would adversely affect the environment, in turn, the sustainability. Thailand’s current feedstock for bioethanol production is sugarcane and cassava, which are mainly cultivated in the Northeastern Thailand.
