  • Democracy and the Thai Middle Class: Globalization, Modernization, And
    DEMOCRACY AND THE THAI MIDDLE CLASS Globalization, Modernization, and Constitutional Change Neil A. Englehart Abstract Although democratization in Thailand is often seen as an illustration of mod- ernization theory, the extent of middle class support for democracy is actually unclear. The greatest advance for Thai democracy in the 1990s was the pas- sage of the 1997 Constitution, more closely linked to economic globalization than modernization. Thai democratization in the 1990s is commonly charac- terized as a classic case of modernization theory in action. The moderniza- tion argument holds that economic development in Thailand created a substantial, well-educated urban middle class that wanted accountable demo- cratic government. Thus, when a military coup overthrew a fledgling demo- cratic regime in 1991, it led to middle class protests in 1992 that ejected the junta and put Thailand firmly on the path to democratic consolidation. These events purportedly demonstrated that military governments are no longer ten- able in the face of middle-class demands for democracy. Does modernization theory provide an accurate account of the Thai case? Close examination of the evidence shows that it does not. The Thai middle class cannot be characterized as having coherent political preferences. Some Neil A.

  • The Roles of Governments in the Education Reform Policy in Thailand from 1999 - 2009
    The roles of governments in the education reform policy in Thailand from 1999 - 2009 Thipsarin Phaktanakul Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Professional Doctorate in Public Administration University of Canberra 2015 Abstract The most recent education reform policy in Thailand officially began in 1999, when the National Education Act came into force. It was considered the most comprehensive reform in Thailand’s history. From 1999 to 2009, many governments and ministers of education assumed power. Their roles in implementing the education reform policy as stipulated in the National Education Act were significant. This research examines the roles of each government and each Minister of Education in implementing the education reform policy after the National Education Act came into force in 1999 to the end of the first decade of this policy. This research is qualitative and is undertaken by two main methods: document analysis and semi-structured interviewing. This research analyses the factors which influenced the implementation of the education reform policy based on the top-down approach to policy implementation analysis. The governments of Thailand within the timeframe of this research can be divided into three groups: (1) the Democrat Party from 1999 to the beginning of 2001 and from the end of 2008 to 2009; (2) the Thai Rak Thai Party and other political parties associated with Thaksin Shinawatra from 2001 to 2006 and in 2008; and (3) the government appointed by the military junta after the coup d’état

  • Le Système Thaksin : Coup De Frein Au Processus De Démocratisation Ou « Voie Thaïlandaise » Vers La Démocratie ?
    L e s É t u d e s d u C E R I N° 115 - juin 2005 Le système Thaksin : coup de frein au processus de démocratisation ou « voie thaïlandaise » vers la démocratie ? Nicolas Revise Centre d'études et de recherches internationales Sciences Po Nicolas Revise Le système Thaksin : coup de frein au processus de démocratisation ou « voie thaïlandaise » vers la démocratie ? Résumé Thaksin Shinawatra, le Premier ministre thaïlandais, est l’homme de tous les superlatifs : magnat des télécommunications, milliardaire, il est le seul chef de gouvernement thaïlandais élu ayant réussi à boucler une législature avant d’être reconduit triomphalement pour un deuxième mandat. Son parti, le Thai Rak Thai (« Les Thaïlandais aiment les Thaïlandais »), gouverne avec une majorité parlementaire écrasante. Parvenu au pouvoir dans le sillage de la crise asiatique de 1997 et de la Constitution démocratique thaïlandaise promulguée la même année, Thaksin constitue une synthèse de l’histoire récente du pays : il est l’héritier des régimes militaires autoritaires des années 1960-1970 et le produit d’une libéralisation politique et économique ayant porté au pouvoir des hommes d’affaires mus en politiciens professionnels. Mais que le « système Thaksin » – mélange d’autoritarisme et de libéralisme – marque un coup d’arrêt à vingt-cinq ans de démocratisation politique ou qu’il incarne une « voie thaïlandaise » vers la démocratie, le Premier ministre ne peut gouverner à sa guise : il a face à lui une société civile dynamique, complexe et structurée qui a déjà fait par trois fois au moins la démonstration éclatante de sa capacité de mobilisation politique.

  • Bab Ii Kudeta Militer Dan Demokratisasi Thailand 2.1
    BAB II KUDETA MILITER DAN DEMOKRATISASI THAILAND 2.1. Posisi Militer dalam Politik Thailand Sejak berakhirnya sistem pemerintahan Monarki Konstitusional pada tahun 1932, militer memiliki peran yang cukup besar dalam politik pihak militer tidak hanya mengurusi masalah pertahanan tetapi juga masalah keamanan nasional yaitu stabilitas politik di pemerintahan.27 Pihak militer sebagai aparatur negara seperti aparat kepolisian telah memiliki pengaruh besar dalam pembuatan kebijakan politik. Militer selalu mengatasnamakan dirinya sebagai pelindung negara. Lemahnya kekuatan sipil dan kuatnya pengaruh militer memaksa Thailand menjadi negara otoriter. Fenomena kudeta banyak terjadi dikarenakan bahwa kinerja pemerintahan sipil tidak efektif dan tidak melembaga, badan eksekutif tidak dapat menguasai serta mengontrol militer, maka peluang terjadinya kudeta relatif terbuka lebar.28 Pada saat terjadi kudeta tahun 1932 militer Thailand berawal memasuki politik yang menjatuhkan sistem Monarki Absolut. Kudeta yang terjadi pada saat itu dipengaruhi dari beberapa faktor seperti situasi perekonomian negara semakin memburuk dan juga ada campur tangan raja pada waktu itu, namun kudeta ini termasuk langkah awal bagi masuknya militer ke dalam ranah politik di Thailand. 27Sri Issundari. “Latar Belakang Kudeta Militer Thailand Pada Masa Pemerintahan PM Thaksin Shinawatra,”Jurusan Hubungan Internasional UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Vol. 12 No. 4, Desember 2008, hal. 204. 28Ibid. 28 Pengambil-alihan kekuasaan yang dilakukan pihak militer disebabkan oleh ketimpangan ekonomi akibat penyalahgunaan kekuasaan. Thaksin Shinawatra lebih dianggap sebagai pemimpin yang berkarakteristik pebisnis, korupsi, kronisme, nepotisme. Pemerintahan yang korup ataupun peraturan perundang- undangan yang tidak beres mengakibatkan buruknya kondisi pemerintahan Thailand. Semua kudeta yang terjadi selalu memunculkan dugaan kalau militer yang selalu melatarbelakanginya. Selama ini petinggi militer Thailand selalu memainkan peran sangat penting disetiap peristiwa kudeta maupun peristiwa unjuk rasa yang terjadi.
