In the 1980s, the governmental system remained unitary, with
all important decisions emanating from the traditionally powerful
bureaucratic elite in Bangkok. Composed of senior members of the
civil and military wings of the bureaucracy, this elite dominated
the governmental process from the national level down to the
district level. In this process, the Ministry of Interior
continued to play a key role as the administrative framework of
the state, resisting reforms and changes
(see
fig. 12).
