NIAS Press catalogue 2020–21 NEW NEW TITLE Future Forward The Rise and Fall of a Thai Political Party Duncan McCargo and Anyarat Chattharakul • First book to examine the most interesting new force to emerge in Thailand’s politics for two decades. • Based on exclusive interviews with party leaders and a wide range of Thai-language sources. Future Forward deals with a remarkable phenomenon in Thailand’s recent politics: the rise of a new party led by Thanathorn Juangroong- ruangkit, a wealthy, charismatic politician who upended convention- al understandings of how elections work in the country. One year after Future Forward was founded, it became the third largest party Politics, Future Forward, in parliament. Another year on, it was summarily dissolved by the Thanathorn, elections, courts, political parties, Constitutional Court. The first book to examine a fascinating devel- campaigning, social opment in Thai politics, it also explores the wider dynamics of politi- media cal leadership, party formation and voter behavior in a society where popular participation has waned since the 2014 military coup. Thailand Critical acclaim: ‘Future Forward is a captivating and accessible read on the rise and fall of one of Thailand’s most fascinating political parties in contemporary times. … a must-read for those interested in the Future Forward Party and Thai politics more broadly.’ – Aim Sinpeng, University of Sydney ‘As frenetically paced as the events it retells, Future Forward is a must-read work of original scholarship … readers are thrust into a lively world of digital politics, hopeful party-beginnings, tweeting leaders, fandoms and voting constituencies. Can a new generation make a sustainable democratic breakthrough not just against the military but the whole business of doing politics in Thailand?’ – Mi- chael Connors, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University ‘Expertly researched and well written, the book captures the ex- citement and suspense of a phenomenal movement that has trans- formed the landscape of Thai politics today and for years to come.’ – Thongchai Winichakul, University of Wisconsin-Madison About the authors: A leading specialist and prize-winning author on the politics of Thailand, Duncan McCargo is Director of the Nor- dic Institute of Asian Studies and Professor of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen.

  • The Pluralistic Poverty of Phalang Pracharat

In Thailand itself, the party has become so well- entrenched that it will be a difficult task removing it from office. 2 ISSUE: 2021 No.

Williamsburg, VA, 23188 Pashtunistan: Pakistan’s Shifting Strategy? Pashtunistan: Pakistan’s Shifting Strategy? The Pashtun tribes have yearned for a “tribal homeland” in a manner much like the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. And as in those coun- tries, the creation of a new national entity would have a destabilizing impact on the countries from which territory would be drawn. In the case of Pashtunistan, the previous Afghan governments have used this desire for a national homeland as a political instrument against Pakistan. Here again, a border drawn by colonial authorities – the Durand Line – divided the world’s largest tribe, the Pashtuns, into two the complexity of separate nation-states, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where they compete with other ethnic groups for primacy. Afghanistan’s governments have not recog- nized the incorporation of many Pashtun areas into Pakistan, particularly Waziristan, and only Pakistan originally stood to lose territory through the creation of the new entity, Pashtunistan. This is the foundation of Pakistan’s policies toward Afghanistan and the reason Pakistan’s politicians and PASHTUNISTAN military developed a strategy intended to split the Pashtuns into opposing groups and have maintained this approach to the Pashtunistan problem for decades. Pakistan’s Pashtuns may be attempting to maneuver the whole country in an entirely new direction and in the process gain primacy within the country’s most powerful constituency, the military.

  • Bangkok: Two Cities Petra Desatova
    Bangkok: Two Cities Petra Desatova Contemporary Southeast Asia: A Journal of International and Strategic Affairs, Volume 41, Number 2, August 2019, pp. 176-182 (Article) Published by ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/732131 Access provided at 9 Jan 2020 10:18 GMT from New Copenhagen University Library Bangkok: Two Cities PETRA DESATOVA Bangkok delivered one of the biggest surprises of Thailand’s March 2019 election, with the capital’s fickle voters amplifying larger national trends. Though popularly viewed as a stronghold for the storied Democrat Party, the history of Bangkok’s elections over the past 40 years has been distinctly mixed. Bangkok voters have shown an unparalleled willingness to embrace new parties—hence the landslide wins by Prachakorn Thai in 1979, Palang Dharma in 1992 and Thai Rak Thai in 2001. It was the Democrats that secured the majority of Bangkok seats in 2007 and 2011, on the strength of backing both from more affluent middle-class voters and low-income inner city communities in districts such as Bang Rak and Khlong Toei. In the 2011 elections, the Democrat Party won 23 out of the capital’s 33 constituency seats. Its main rival, Pheu Thai, secured the remaining ten seats. By contrast, in the March 2019 elections, the Democrat Party failed to secure even a single constituency seat in the capital. Out of 30 seats available, Pheu Thai won nine. The rest were split between two new parties: the pro-military Palang Pracharat Party (12) and the progressive Future Forward Party (9).

  • Where Internal and International Migration Intersect: Mobility and the Formation of Multi-Ethnic Communities in the Riau Islands Transit Zone
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Sydney eScholarship Where Internal and International Migration Intersect: Mobility and the Formation of Multi-Ethnic Communities in the Riau Islands Transit Zone LENORE LYONS AND MICHELE FORD University of Wollongong and University of Sydney While migration studies scholars have paid considerable attention to internal migration within Indonesia, as well as to international labour migration flows from Indonesia, they have rarely considered the intersections between these two processes. This paper addresses the gap through a close analysis of migration flows in one of Indonesia’s key transit areas – the Riau Islands. We argue that in the borderlands the processes of internal and international migration are mutually constitutive. The Riau Islands’ status as a transit zone for international labour migrants and as a destination for internal migrants determines its demographic profile and policies of migration control. Bordering practices are strongly influenced by the fact that not everyone who comes to the Riau Islands has the intention of moving on, and not all international migrants returning to the islands intend to go home. Our analysis demonstrates that internal migration cannot be understood as a solely national phenomenon, and that international migration cannot only be explained by push and pull factors in sending and receiving destinations. These complexities necessitate research and policy responses that take into account the unique character of the transit provinces, and the role that their geographical location plays in the formation of multi-ethnic communities and the management of migration. ndonesia is the focus of considerable attention within contemporary migration I studies.

In December 2020, the Progressive Movement competed for the post of provincial administrative organisations (PAO) chairman in 42 provinces and ran more than 1,000 candidates for PAO councils in 52 of Thailand’s 76 provinces.

    ISSUE: 2019 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 29 May 2019 Thailand’s Puzzling 2019 Election: How the NCPO Junta has Embedded itself in Thai Politics Punchada Sirivunnabood* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The “mixed-member apportionment” system that Thailand’s 2017 Constitution introduced to parliamentary elections has led to the changes in the country’s political landscape. Although the system was designed to help the military-backed Phalang Pracharat Party garner a large number of parliamentary seats, it also enabled a number of medium-size and small parties, including the Future Forward Party, to gain more parliamentary seats than expected. Eleven small parties with one or two seats each have pledged to support the pro- junta Phalang Pracharat Party in forming a government and to back the incumbent prime minister continuing in power. If these small parties join a pro-military coalition, the new government will face challenges managing a coalition of more than 20 parties. *Punchada Sirivunnabood is Visiting Fellow in the Thailand Studies Programme of ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION “Please let it be known about an important thing in governing, that in the country, there are both good and bad people. No one will make all people become good people. So to give the country normality and order is not about making everyone become good people, but it lies in supporting goodness, so that good people govern the country, and restraining bad people from having power, in order not to create confusion.” (Unofficial Translation) His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn’s statement 23 March 20191 On 23 March 2019, King Vajiralongkorn released an unexpected announcement on the eve of Thailand’s national elections, saying that voters should support “good people” to rule Thailand.

  • Departing from Java: Javanese Labour, Migration and Diaspora
    Book Review Rosemarijn Hoefte and Peter Meel (eds.) (2018) Departing from Java: Javanese Labour, Migration and Diaspora. Copenhagen: NIAS Press. ISBN 9788776942458 (hardcover); 9788776942465 (softcover). 288 pp. US$80 (hardcover); US$29 (softcover). Reviewed by Oliver Pye, Bonn University, Germany Departing from Java is a wonderful collection of essays that I will immediately include as reading material for teaching on migration and development in Southeast Asia. Edited volumes are often a mixed bag, but in this case each individual chapter was fascinating, relevant and offered something new. Migrancy has become such a defining part of everyday life for millions of Indonesians (and for people everywhere), and the quality of these studies is testament to the amount of academic work that has gone into researching the experience of migrant workers. The first surprise is the historical depth and scale of migration from Java. The book covers colonial and postcolonial migration within Indonesia and the Dutch empire, as well as the contemporary movements of migrant workers to Malaysia, East Asia and the Middle East. Some of the first migrants were the exiled political opponents of the Dutch; they ended up in places like South Africa and Sri Lanka. Many others were settlers in the colonial and postcolonial Transmigration Programme. But the vast majority were workers – first indentured workers shipped by the colonial power to plantation and mining colonies on Sumatra, New Caledonia (a French overseas territory located east of Australia) and Suriname in South America. These transnational diasporas are dwarfed by contemporary migration. Examples discussed in this volume are palm oil and factory workers in Malaysia, factory workers, domestic workers and fishermen in Taiwan, and female domestic workers in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.

  • THE MEANING of DIASPORIC IDENTITY: a Case of Indonesian Community Overseas
    THE MEANING OF DIASPORIC IDENTITY: A Case of Indonesian Community Overseas Irin Oktafiani Research Center for Population Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Jakarta, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper argues that the term of the diaspora in Indonesia has been transformed and simplified from the general diaspora concept and its conceptual meaning is not enough to define the Indonesian diaspora. The Indonesian government have already made a clear characteristic of Indonesian diaspora through the Presidential Regulation No. 76 of 2017, it is stated implicitly that Indonesian diaspora is whoever living abroad, despite they only live there for a short period. Regardless of what the Indonesian government has done to define the meaning of the diaspora, the definition is not enough to explain about Indonesian diaspora. By any conditions, the Indonesian government could not neglect the history of some Indonesian political refugees in 1965 or 1998 since there was a painful history left behind and it is unsure whether they want to recognize themselves again as Indonesia. On the other hand, the second generation or more of Indonesian who already got another country citizenship, can not be guaranteed to have a sense of belonging with Indonesia and want to recognize that they have Indonesian descent. This paper will elucidate what really matters in the term of Indonesian diaspora in the sense of belonging and the confession that they are being attached to Indonesia. Keywords: diaspora, Indonesia, recognition, sense of belonging Abstrak Makalah ini memperlihatkan bahwa istilah diaspora di Indonesia telah bertransformasi dan disederhanakan dari konsep diaspora umum dan makna konseptualnya tidak cukup untuk mendefinisikan diaspora Indonesia.

  • Comparing Camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and Nationalism During the Long Nineteenth Century
    Comparing camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and nationalism during the Long Nineteenth Century Shah Mahmoud Hanifi [James Madison University, Virginia, USA] Abstract: This paper compares the roles of camels and their handlers in state building projects in Afghanistan and Australia during the global ascendance of industrial production. Beginning in the mid-1880s the Afghan state-sponsored industrial project known as the mashin khana or Kabul workshops had significant consequences for camel-based commercial transport in and between Afghanistan and colonial India. Primary effects include the carriage of new commodities, new forms of financing and taxation, re- routing, and markedly increased state surveillance over camel caravans. In Australia the trans-continental railway and telegraph, and other projects involving intra-continental exploration and mining, generated a series of in-migrations of Afghan camels and cameleers between the 1830s and 1890s. The port of Adelaide was the urban center most affected by Afghan camels and cameleers, and a set of new interior markets and settlements originate from these in-migrations. The contributions of Afghan camels and their handlers to state-building projects in nineteenth-century Afghanistan and Australia highlight their vital roles in helping to establish industrial enterprises, and the equally important point that once operational these industrial projects became agents in the economic marginalization of camels and the social stigmatization of the human labour associated with them. __________________________________________________________________ Introduction: camels, political economy and national identities The movement of camels through the Hindu Kush mountain passes was greatly transformed beginning in 1893. That year the Durrani Amir of Kabul Abd al-Rahman signed an agreement with the British Indian colonial official Sir Henry Mortimer Durand acknowledging there would be formal demarcation of the border between their respective vastly unequal powers, one being a patron and the other a client.
