  • Working Paper 1
    Working Paper 1 Armed Forces, the State, and Society Series AUTHORITARIAN POLICING AND DEMOCRATIZATION: THE CASE OF THAILAND EUGÉNIE MÉRIEAU Abstract: In this paper, I argue that the post-1970s democratization in Thailand had minimal effects on the entrenched practices of authoritarian policing. Democratization, in fact, did not put an end to these practices but instead correlated with their legalization through the enactment of a set of empowering legislation. This empirical finding invites a reconsid- eration of the hypothesis of covariation between regime type and policing practices. The NYU SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES CENTER FOR GLOBAL AFFAIRS facilitates change by educating and inspiring our community to become global citizens capable of identifying and im- plementing solutions to pressing global challenges. We believe that the development of solu- tions to global problems must be informed by an understanding that the world’s challenges are not merely challenges for and among states, but among states and non-state actors; urban and rural communities; regional organizations as well as traditional diplomatic outlets. Through rig- orous graduate and non-degree programs and public events we prepare global citizens who will be at home – and thus be effective agents of change – in all of these environments. This working paper does represent the views of NYU, its staff, or faculty. ©The Author 2020 EUGÉNIE MÉRIEAU is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies, National University of Singapore. She previously held positions at Sciences Po (France), Göttingen University (Germany) and Thammasat University (Thailand) and worked as a consultant for the International Commission of Jurists.

  • November 11, 2020 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News • in What
    November 11, 2020 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News In what could be considered to be some good news for embattled Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, the National Security Council (NSC) has come out to say that it has seen a decline in numbers of protesters at each demonstration after October 24. NSC secretary-general Gen Nattaphon Narkphanit reported to the Cabinet’s meeting yesterday that the NSC recorded continuous declines in numbers of protesters after October 24. Protester numbers fell short of 10,000-15,000 or an average of 12,000 in each rally and up to 50,000 in nationwide rallies. The numbers of protesters joining pro-democracy rallies in Bangkok have shown a continuous decline to 17,000 each time. It is said that Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha had a big smile on his face the whole time he was listening to the NSC’s report and told the cabinet to help promote good information among the public. HM the King Maha Vajiralongkorn and HM the Queen yesterday wrote messages of love and national unity to locals in Udon Thani during their visit to the province to preside over the inauguration of a building at Udon Thani Juvenile and Family Court. On a picture of himself and the queen that was brought by one of the well- wishers, the king wrote: “Love the nation, love the people, and cherish Thai-ness, real happiness.” Among the well-wisher was Anon Saennan, core leader of the Red Village movement in Udon Thani. HM the King had a personal conversation with Anon urging him to do the right thing for the benefit of the people and the country.

Now, as before, Thai authorities are using lesè-majesté charges to stifle political speech and punish those calling for democratic reforms. ARTICLE 19’s analysis of the lesè-majesté law is essential, and this report makes clear that the law is fundamentally incompatible with the right to freedom of expression. In 2017, when I was the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, I issued a statement expressing my concern after the Thai authorities charged student activist Jatupat Boonpatararaksa with violating Section 112 of the Criminal Code — Thailand’s lesè-majesté provision.

Signed……………………………………………. (candidate) Date……………………………………………….13/7/2017 i Summary This thesis aims to develop a theory of the politics of survivors based on the interrelated issues of memory, trauma, and subjectivity. It defines survivors as those who psychologically suffered from a traumatic event and whose mentalities continue to be affected by traumas. This thesis understands survivors as active participants in political resistance aimed at overthrowing current, authoritarian governments. In order to develop an appropriate theory of the politics of survivors, this thesis examines literature across the disciplines of social science. First, it adopts memory literature to argue that the political crises survivors have endured lead to the development of collective memory among survivors. Second, it incorporates literature of trauma to demonstrate that trauma cannot be conveyed in its entirety in testimony or language.

  • Why Are the Border Patrol Police in Bangkok Now?
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 133 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 23 November 2020 Why are the Border Patrol Police in Bangkok now? Sinae Hyun* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Thailand’s Border Patrol Police (BPP) have been deployed at key protest sites in Bangkok since September. • The BPP had been called in to operate in Bangkok on two previous occasions: on 6 October 1976, during demonstrations at Thammasat University, and in January-May 2010, during Red Shirt unrest. • The current mobilization of the BPP in Bangkok invokes traumatic memories of the 6 October 1976 massacre. • The BPP have been Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s right-hand force since the early 1980s, and their civic action work has been closely tied to her royal projects. In contrast, the current monarch has limited influence over this police organization. • Significantly, the ongoing pro-democracy protests led by the young activists are an endeavor to overcome Thailand’s traumatic past. *Sinae Hyun is Research Professor, Institute for East Asian Studies, Sogang University, Seoul. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 133 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 21 June 2020, a noose was found in a garage used by Bubba Wallace, the only black driver in NASCAR’s top racing series. The discovery came days after the driver had posted a “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) message and congratulated NASCAR for its ban on displays of the Confederate battle flag. Both NASCAR and the FBI investigated the incident, and just two days later the FBI concluded that the incident was not a hate crime. It stated that “the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall.”1 The rope fashioned like a noose may not have been evidence of hate crime, and Bubba Wallace had to fight battle charges that he was overreacting to the discovery of the noose.
