Two political resources the groups mobilized were important. One was technical knowledge. The other was their ability to obtain the cooperation of the press in presenting their case to the public such that pressure was exerted on the government. This, in combination with other strategies, was carried out in tandem with political situations and events. It was also found that Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanond’s style of decision - making, which aimed at the search for a decision formula acceptable to all parties involved, was a significant factor in the decision being deferred. The study’s findings on the Nam Choan issue adds to understanding about political.and administrative behavior in the contemporary Thai pocifical regime which may be characterized as between "bureaucratic polity" and democracy.
