Rhodes’ governance concept in relation to Thai public service

Abstract

The paper is aimed to explore the concept of governance as the term came to be used since the 1980s and the 1990s and the way to employ the concept of governance which has been adapted from Rhodes (1996 and 2017) by concerning only five separated uses of ‘governance’ and how to implement them in terms of Thai public service. It includes:  1) as the minimal state 2) as corporate governance 3) as the new public management 4) as good governance 5) as self-organizing network. However, in terms of Thailand, old-fashioned Thai public administration system, no matter how much the world has changed, the central government still plays the vital role to control and runs public service inevitably.
