Abstract
The concluding remarks of this book will take up and revisit the central claims of the introductory chapter in order to summarize and assess the collected findings and contributions. The overarching rationale of this research endeavor has been to contribute to our understanding of how male political dominance is maintained and reinvented and to explore the ways in which men and masculinities can be researched. This study has focused on male parliamentary dominance in clientelist settings and has analyzed general worldwide trends as well as political networks in the Thai context in order to answer the questions of how and why clientelism favors men and how and why clientelist practices translate into parliamentary seats. It is now time to evaluate the comprehensive picture provided by this book to see whether posing questions in a new way has generated new answers.
