Uneven development in Thailand

A partir d'une base industrielle étroite dans les annnées 60 la Thaïlande a construit un secteur manufacturier en jouant à la fois sur les possibilités d'exportation et sur l'élargissement du marché intérieur. Les entrepreneurs et les capitaux nationaux ont pris une place centrale tant au niveau des PME que des grands groupes diversifiés (relativement peu nombreux) et des joint-ventures.
