Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Professor W. Scott Thompson, for his untiring support from the first day that I started my research for this book. You are a true friend. I would like to also thank Professor Alan Wachman for his kindness and his advice. I have learned so much from him and am truly fortunate to have him as my professor. I am grateful to Professor Chookiat Panaspornprasit and Professor Kusuma Snitvongse na Ayutthaya for their support and invaluable comments on my drafts and for their endless encouragement. Undeniably, I owe much to my Fletcher friends who have taught me in the realms of both academia and the real world. Without you I would not be who I am today. Furthermore, I am much obliged to other professors and staff at Fletcher who have taught, helped, supported, and shown kindness to me while I was doing this research. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents for their infinite love, support, and understanding. Without the both of you, I would not be able to reach this stage in my life.
In addition, I would like to thank the editors and staff members of Cambria Press for making this book a success.
