Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the face of the growing importance of corruption in much of the developing world, Thailand included, the present paper tackles the following question: what are the major actors that actually set the agenda for corruption issues in Thailand? The agenda-setting stage is the most critical one in the policy-cycle process which influences the remaining stages of the cycle. Given the importance of both the issue in Thai context and the agenda-setting stage generally, it is surprising to observe a scarcity of existing literature not only on agenda-setting in Thailand but across the policy process generally.
