Abstract
This article analyzes the origins, interpretations, and impacts of anonymous letters in the municipal system of Thailand. First, these letters are one form of political communication. Second, they have political origins and result in political interpreta tions and actions. Third, they have important psychological and behavioral impacts on individuals, groups, and organizations. As both causes and consequences of bureaucratic politics, anonymous letters arise from jealousy, envy, and vindictive power relations; they generate greater complexity, uncertainty, and instability in government. In the end, anonymous letters are one important dimension of bureau cratic-political behavior that prevents bureaucracies from becoming highly central ized, rational, competent, and apolitical.
