Abstract: | Culturally, socially, and politically, the Philippines and Thailand are completely different, but in the economic sphere until the end of the 1970s, the two exhibited such similarity that they could have been called twins. During the 1980s, however, the difference in the economic progress of the two countries widened greatly. Today Thailand has achieved the status of a quasi-NIE while the Philippines continues to struggle with an economy that is verging on economic stagnation. |
