Buddhism, Legitimation, and Conflict analyses the political functions of institutional Buddhism in Thailand in this century. The fundamental premiss of this study is that the Buddhist sanga and Buddhist teachings play a key symbolic role in legitimating the exercise of secular power in Thailand. The author argues that a clear appreciation of the political legitimatory function of Buddhism provides the key to understanding the major theoretical and adminstrative changes that have taken place within Thai Buddhism in this century.
