With experts from Thailand, Asia, Europe, and the U.S. giving online-lectures, COLA succeeded in collecting essential answers to many questions on public administration issues deriving from the crisis. To share this valuable information and further contribute to develop local governments and local administrations in Thailand, COLA published this book as well as produced videos from the seminar sessions to be used as further studying materials.
We hope that these will be efficient tools resulting from the activity and soon be recognised as valuable studying material for civil servants at the national and the local level, experts, lecturers, and students at Thai universities as well as the general public interested in the topic.
Book file can be downloaded from this page.
