Sovereign Myth

Sovereign Myth – a website by Latrobe University’s Michael Conners – is a forum for his writings on a huge range of topics.

Recent posts have included “Howard, a retiring man”, “A Plagiarist’s Manifesto” and “Democracy From Below: Nidhi”. He has also posted a number of previously published opinion pieces. While Connors is best known among New Mandala readers as the author of Democracy and National Identity in Thailand (first published 2003, new edition 2006), this site gives a good feel for the breadth of his other interests.

There is much content on Sovereign Myth that will be of interest to New Mandala readers. It is well worth a look.
