It argues that urban politics and administration in Thailand are unstable and unpredictable becauseof the unstableand unpredictable nature of the urban policy process. The major implication of this analysis is that until the structure of the policy processchanges,Thai urbangovernments will probably continue to muddle through in performing basic urban functions. Attempts to reform municipal government should take into consideration the structure of the policy process and its relationship to administrative politics. Residents of redeveloping urban neighborhoods have a stake in collectively mobilizing to insure that they are not forced to suffer undue and uncompensated costs. But neighborhood mobilization is problematic-the existence of a shared interest is not sufficient to insure that mobilization will occur. This is a point that pluralist approaches to interest group politics have tended to obscure. This article sketches an analytic framework for analyzing the conditions of neighborhood mobilization, and applies that framework to recent changes in the form that innercity redevelopment takes. The decreased reliance on direct public sector intervention that characterizes the transition from urban renewal to the contemporary gentrification process generates politically significant obstacles to the likelihood of timely and effective neighborhood response.","PeriodicalId":85823,"journal":{"name":"Urban affairs quarterly","volume":"17 1","pages":"319 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65101521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
