Consists of reports from a conference focusing on the capacity for the development of local authority in rural Thailand. Deals with the heterogeneity of structures, processes, and problems at the muban and tambon level and with stereotypes which may have developed about local authority in American and Thai communities. Comments on extent to which organs of local authority are natural or formal and impact of such differences on development. Discusses managerial and political capacity of organs of local authority to implement development. Suggests targets of opportunity at local levels which should receive support from the RTG and USOM.
